‘Thanks’ for one of Friday’s heroes
FLOWERS AND messages of
support have been left outside
the Redcliffs shop of a man who
tried to stop alleged gunman
Brenton Tarrant on Friday.
Abdul Aziz, who owns
A-antiques new and secondhand
goods and furniture
on Main Rd, confronted the
gunman when he started
shooting people at the Linwood
mosque.
Mr Aziz hurled an eftpos
machine at the gunman.
The gunman then fled but
returned and fired at Mr Aziz.
Mr Aziz said he ran, weaving
through cars parked in the
driveway, which prevented the
gunman from getting a clean
shot.
Mr Aziz spotted a gun he had
abandoned and picked it up and
squeezed the trigger – but it was
empty. The gunman ran back to
the car for a second time.
“He gets into his car and I
just got the gun and threw it on
his window like an arrow and
blasted his window,” Mr Aziz
said.

rocket
sparks
criticism
from
fire chief
• By Louis Day
ONE OF the region’s top fire
chiefs has joined the criticism
over Canterbury University’s
rocket launch which led to a
grass fire on tinder dry Banks
Peninsula.
Deputy principal rural fire
officer Al Hutt said the launch
was not handled well.
“The picture we were painted
by the aerospace people (at the
university) was that there was
zero risk of this happening and
I did even ask them what would
happen if it crashed on the spit
and they assured me it wouldn’t
but it clearly did,” he said
yesterday.
Mr Hutt also questioned the
timing of the launch during
a total fire ban season, which
remains in place.
Last week Bay Harbour News
revealed Canterbury University’s
UC Aerospace had attempted to
become the first student group in
the world to launch a rocket into
space.

THOUSANDS OF people will be
pounding the pavements and roads at the
annual City2Surf on Sunday.
It’s Christchurch’s iconic event, which
The Star has put on for decades.
This year it will be the 45th time the event has been held. It
used to go from the Square out to
QE II, but a certain event on February 22, 2011, changed all of
that. It now goes from Centennial Park and Hansen Park to
Ferrymead.
Each year there is a buzz as thousands gather in the parks
for the challenge that lies ahead – whether it be going as fast
as you can, or simply completing the journey for personal
satisfaction.
On page 12 today, we talk to some of the people taking part.

Bitcoin ice cream store closes
In Brief
• By Louis Day
AFTER TWO years in business,
a young Sumner entrepreneur’s
ice cream enterprise has come to
an end.
Charlie Kavanagh opened
Charlato when he was 18. His ice
cream store, which was closed
last Wednesday, became the first
in the country to accept Bitcoin
as a form of payment.
Mr Kavanagh said 10 to 15
people paid using Bitcoin during
the two years the store was
open.
“It was definitely worth doing,
a lot of people would see the
poster and have a bit of a laugh.”
Bitcoin is a digital currency,
which exists only online, and is
one of more than a thousand
“cryptocurrencies.”
It has come with harsh
warnings from investors
and traders worldwide for its
volatility and lack of regulation.
However, Mr Kavanagh said
the precarious nature of the
cryptocurrency did not have
a significant impact on his
business.
“I only had $50 invested in it
so it didn’t really affect me.”
Mr Kavanagh worked for the
previous owners of the gelato
container and decided to take
over when they closed.
“I was just hanging out with a

Mr Aziz said the
gunman was cursing at
him, yelling that he was
going to kill them all. But
he drove away and Mr
Aziz said he chased the
car down the street to a
red light, before it made a
U-turn and sped away.
Tarrant killed seven
people at the Linwood
mosque. Latef Alabi, the
mosque’s acting imam,
said the death toll would
have been far higher at the
mosque had Mr Aziz not
intervened.
The gunman killed 50
people after attacking the
Linwood mosque and the
Al Noor mosque on Deans
Ave.
Mr Aziz thanked the
community for their
support on the A-antiques

“We are slowly
trying to get on with

due to our cars being
held at the crime scene

said.
Sumner resident Terry

Mr Aziz a vehicle.
“He can have it for as
long as he wants. We
have shown in the past in
Christchurch that we can
rally around each other,
now is the time to do
that,” he said.
Sumner’s Vicky

her vehicle. “I don’t use the
car that much and I can
use the bus,” she said.

Catch-22 for Black Cat
Rocket launch
• By Louis Day
BLACK CAT Cruises is in a
catch-22 situation over the
ongoing saga of its disability
ramps on Akaroa wharf.
In July last year, the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
gave Black Cat Cruises three
months to remove all nonconsented
structures, such as
disability access ramps, seating,
signage and canopies.
But the two ramps remain in
place nearly five months after
they were meant to be removed.
Black Cat Cruises chief
executive Paul Milligan told
the Banks Peninsula
Community Board at its
meeting on Monday that if the
ramps were removed the Black
Cat Cruises’ building would
become non-compliant.
“We are not asking the
council or community board to
bend the rules here. If we could
get rid of the ramps, we would,”
he said.
The community board has
also received advice from city
council staff, saying if the ramps
were removed the building
would become non-compliant
and may be closed down.
However, Akaroa Fishermen’s
Association head John Wright
said the group wants to see the
HON AMY ADAMS
MP FOR SELWYN

ONGOING: The unconsented disability ramps at Black Cat
Cruises continue to be debated.
ramps removed.
“We are definitely sticking
by our guns. We require the
unconsented structures to be
removed,” he said.
Mr Wright previously told Bay
Harbour News the combination
of the disability ramp and
crowds of tourists from cruise
ships were a real issue.
“There are some days where
it is impossible to get a chiller
truck on to the wharf to unload
our fishing vessels. If it’s a hot
day and we’ve got fish on the
deck, it spoils in the hot sun.”
The community board
requested city council staff to
continue to negotiate changes
to access structures on the
wharf and that any structures
which could not be removed
at present be addressed in the
redevelopment of the wharf.

draws criticism
•From page 1
The launch was made from
remote Kaitorete Spit near
Birdlings Flat on March 3.
The rocket did not get out of
the Earth’s atmosphere and came
back down on the spit, causing
a fire. It was supposed to have
crashed into the sea. The fire was
put out by the students involved
in the project before the Little
River Volunteer Fire Brigade
arrived.
Said Little River Volunteer Fire
Brigade acting station officer
Matt Ledgerwood: “With a bit of
bad luck it could have been a lot
worse, luckily the grass was quite
short and there was no wind.”
Rocket launches do not require
a fire permit.
But Fire and Emergency NZ
has the legal ability to prohibit
or restrict activities in certain
circumstances.
Mr Hutt said they would be
taking a harder line with any
future rocket launches.
“In this particular activity, we
have a bit of case history where it
has gone wrong, whereas before
we had nothing. So it would
have been difficult to impose
restrictions on people but now, if

they came back, I would be able
to say last time this happened
so I am going to impose some
restrictions.”
Canterbury University said last
week there were no current plans
for more launches in the area.
The launch was also criticised
by nearby residents.
Little River Wairewa
Community Trust chairman
Robert Burch labelled the rocket
launch as a “silly thing to do.”
“Why are they launching a
rocket when we have a total fire
ban?” he said.
Birdlings Flat resident Sue
Morrow also had concerns.
“It’s bloody stupid doing that at
this time of year when it is tinder
dry,” she said.
The rocket launch was part of
the international race to become
the first university group to blast
a rocket beyond the Karman line.
The Karman line is 100km
above the earth’s surface and
is widely recognised as the
boundary to outer space.
The University of Southern
California’s rocket propulsion
laboratory set the highest altitude
reached by a university group in
March 2017 with 44km.

Targeted rate plan to rid
Banks Peninsula of pests
• By Louis Day
MORE THAN 20,000
households across Banks
Peninsula may have to
pay a targeted rate for pest
control.
Environment
Canterbury’s proposed
Pest-Free Banks Peninsula
strategy would affect
21,276 rateable properties
on the peninsula.
Public consultation on
the proposal has closed
and it will go to a hearings
panel next month before
the plan is finalised.
Different properties
would pay different rates,
depending on their size
and value.
“It would be based 80
per cent on land value, and
20 per cent on land area.
The targeted rate formula
would be approximately
$5 per $100,000 land value
plus $0.65 per hectare of
land,” said Maree Willetts,
ECan team leader of strategy,
planning, biodiversity
and biosecurity.
Ms Willetts said the
project would focus on
eradicating feral goats and
controlling pests, such as
TARGETS: Environment Canterbury is planning a
targeted rate to help eradicate all pests on Banks
Peninsula by 2050.
Examples of the annual cost for the
proposed targeted rate:
•800m² property in Sumner, $455,000 land
value: $22.85.
•1000m² property in Lyttelton, $240,000 land
value: $12.09.

ferrets, stoats, weasels and
rats.
The project aims to help
meet the goal of a pest-free
peninsula by 2050.
“The removal of pest
animals from the Banks
Peninsula will ensure
indigenous species become
more abundant and
widespread across the
peninsula and into the
city,” she said.

Lyttelton church garden comes to life
• By Louis Day
ELIZABETH Barrie was
heartbroken when she saw the
state of the garden at Lyttelton’s
St Saviours at Holy Trinity
church.
“The weeds were taller than
the rose bushes,” she said.
Since then, Mrs Barrie has
been on a mission to restore the
garden to its former glory.
After commuting from her
home in Redcliffs three to
five times a week for the last
five months, Mrs Barrie has
achieved this. She has weeded
the garden, planted roses,
petunias, cosmos, cornflower,
portulaca hydrangea and a
lemon tree.
Mrs Barrie, who grew up in
Lyttelton, was baptised and
married at the Holy Trinity
Church, which was on the
site until it was demolished
following the earthquakes.
“When I was a child and
I used to go, there was this
lemon tree under the corner of
the garden, so the other day I
planted a little lemon tree.”
However, Mrs Barrie said
there was still work to be
done.
“It is an ongoing issue really,
it is a beautiful spot, it is a
community thing, it is so much
more than just a church.”
The priest of the Parish
of Lyttelton Reverend John
McLister commended Mrs
Barrie’s efforts.
“We are very grateful for
what she has done, we have had
people come in for weddings
and funerals who have been
very appreciative of her work,”
he said. St Saviours Church was
moved onto the Winchester
St site after the Holy Trinity
Church was demolished.
Rev McLister said the garden
had been restored to its former
glory but there was still work

to be done on the rest of the
grounds. “The grounds are
still badly damaged, the stone
masonry is badly damaged and
it is a work in progress. It will
take years to restore it back
to where it used to be and a
considerable financial cost.”
City council
applies for
NZTA funding
• By Louis Day
THE CITY council is applying
for funding for a section of the
Coastal Pathway.
The section between Shag Rock
and Sumner Surf Life Saving Surf
Club is estimated to cost about $6
million.
City council planning and delivery
transport manager Lynette Ellis
said this section of the Coastal
Pathway would be completed to
schedule even if the New Zealand
Transport Agency did not grant
the funding.
“NZTA subsidise between 50
and 75 per cent of eligible parts
of projects. Construction on this
section of the pathway is already
underway,” she said.
Landscaping and lighting
improvements are also part of the
project expected to be completed
by mid-October.
Ms Ellis said the entire project
when completed would provide a
multi-functional pathway to benefit
the community and visitors.
“The asphalt path will run
between Shag Rock and Gollans
Point, and will then transition to
a boardwalk along the front of the
car park and the Sumner Surf Lifesaving
Club where it connects with
the existing memorial walkway.”

In 1999, Heritage New Zealand
registered Akaroa as a historic
area. Mass tourism now poses
threats to Akaroa, and the civic
trust’s aims to prevent damage
to Akaroa’s fragile character and
ensure the long-term well-being
of the community.
It is hard to appreciate Akaroa
when its streets are clogged with
buses and visitors shuffling past
street stalls. The longer-term
impacts include the loss and
privatisation of open public
spaces and reserves.
Infrastructure developments
to cope with huge daily spikes
CONFLICT: Mike Norris says more needs to be done to manage
the increasing number of cruise ship passengers and tourists
visiting Akaroa.
in tourist numbers are difficult
to accommodate, as Akaroa is
sandwiched between the sea
and steep hills, and has limited
capacity.
Britomart Reserve near the
wharf is one of the few green
public spaces and is used for
family picnics and recreation.
The city council has placed unconsented,
temporary toilets on
this highly-sensitive area. The
city council also fails to properly
maintain the town, which is
looking run down and overused.
Cruise ship passengers are
bearing much of the blame for
harming Akaroa’s character,
but pressure is also coming
from an increasing number of
independent travellers, many in
campervans.
Small ships of several hundred
passengers present few problems.
Tourists staying for several days,
eat in the town’s restaurants,
shop and sustain businesses
which residents also need and
use. Sustainable tourism has
long been the lifeblood of the
local economy, but if Akaroa’s
character is damaged, these
visitors will stay away.
The city council is developing
a new visitor strategy to assist
business owners as they work
through the transition of large
ships returning to the Port of
Lyttelton. Cruise ships will
continue to visit Akaroa, but
hopefully on a more managed
schedule, with less impact on the
town’s limited infrastructure.
The civic trust recognises that
many businesses have invested in
servicing the market presented
by the temporary increase in
cruise ship visits, but with the
completion of the Lyttelton
terminal everyone needs to look
for a new tourism strategy which
is sustainable and will replace
some of the lost business.
Akaroa needs to protect its
authentic character and ensure a
local community survives against
high visitor numbers, which put
both character and community
at risk. Lonely Planet has already
recorded unfavourable comments
advising visitors not to bother
with Akaroa on busy cruise ship
days, and the town’s businesses
could be seriously impacted
simply through negative social
media.

Fete and music festival to restore Governors Bay jetty
• By Louis Day
A FETE and music festival will be
held next week in a bid to restore
the Governors Bay jetty.
The Governors Bay
Community Association and
Governors Bay Jetty Restoration
Trust have joined forces to
organise the annual fete and a
“save the jetty” music festival
on March 30 at the Allendale
Reserve.
The Governors Bay Jetty
Restoration Trust is currently
raising money and working with
city council on a project to restore
the jetty.
The jetty has been closed since
2011 after an inspection from
engineers found it to be unfit for
public use.
Trust secretary Louisa Eades
said $735,000 has already been
raised towards the project.
However, she said the restoration
project was likely to cost $3
million in total.
“We are working with the city
council to get them to allocate
more money towards the project
in the Annual Plan. If all goes to
plan, we would like to start the
project in the spring, but that
totally depends on fundraising,”
she said.
Proceeds made from the fete
UNSAFE: The Governors Bay
jetty has been closed since

and music festival will go towards
the restoration of the jetty.
The fete will run from noon-
4pm and include entertainment,
stalls, a fire brigade
demonstration, white elephant, a
vintage car showing, food and a
pop-up bar.
From 6-10pm, the trust will
hold the “jetty music festival.”
Local bands will provide
entertainment and there will
be food stalls and a pop-up bar
run by Two Thumbs Brewing
Co. The line-up will include
The In Crowd, 3KG and James
Constable.

Keeping measles away
KEEPING MEASLES at bay
has been our top priority.
It’s been excellent, I’ve
barely driven further than
30km the whole time.
Vittoria has thoroughly
enjoyed the car seat reprieve.
In spite of this, it was me
suffering in the car.
With all the measles cases
popping up in the region, we
booked Vittoria in for her
next stage of immunisations
as soon as we could.
Unfortunately, that meant
8.30am.
But Vittoria and I needed
to stay in Waikuku and
we couldn’t move the
appointment.
With the rush on the
measles vaccine, I didn’t want
to risk missing out.
Anyone who’s ever done
the North Canterbury to
Christchurch commute will
understand why this is a bit
of a stretch if you don’t leave
early enough.
So, for the first time in a
long time, I woke up before
Vittoria and then in turn
woke her at 6.30am.
Having said that, we didn’t
leave until 7.45am.
By the time we hit Main
North Rd, we were knee
deep in traffic, time was
ticking and my road rage was
kicking in.
I was sweating, watching
the minutes creep by.
Meanwhile, Vittoria was
chilling in the back seat,
having a sip of water when we
were forced to crawl along.
If you were driving there
at the same time, I’m sorry,
I definitely called you some
very carefully selected words.
Not swear words, of course,
as bubs might pick that up.
No, I likely called you a
VITTORIA
& Matt
spoon or a muggy fluffer.
I need not have stressed
really, we got there just in the
nick of time to wait in the
waiting room for the vaccines
to be ready.
Now, having whinged
about myself, I need to extol
the virtues of my daughter –
because she did great.
She cried a bit when the
needles went in (just two
this time) but was running
around outside smiling and
laughing 2min later.
She was even her happy self
for the rest of the day.
But we’ve not long noticed
that she’s pushing a molar
out. So watch this space as to
whether her happy self sticks
it out.

Exhibitions on
Sumner Rd
reopening
THE HISTORY OF Sumner
Rd has been captured in two
exhibitions celebrating its
reopening.
The exhibitions, which are
on at the Lyttelton Library and
the Mataku Takotako: Sumner
Centre until April 28, tell
the story of the road and the
important role it has played in
linking the communities.
They have been put together
to mark the reconstruction of
Sumner Rd, which is set to reopen
to traffic for the first time in eight
years at 6pm next Friday.
“Since Sumner Rd opened in
1857 it has played a vital role in
Christchurch’s transport network,’’
said Lyttelton community
librarian Annette Williams.
Ms Williams said the road also
played a role in the defence of
Christchurch against possible
enemy attack.
“In the late 19th century, when
there were fears the Russians
were going to invade, gun
emplacements were installed at
strategic points along Sumner
Rd.”
The exhibitions detail the
engineering work that has gone
into keeping Sumner Rd open for
the past 160 years.

Love builds a happy home... And that is exactly what our owners had in mind when they were inspired to create this
extraordinary house, just 4 years ago. The result of their careful planning is a contemporary and stylish property that
meets the needs of a modern family, yet retains a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all.
With a sleek and simple design embellished by contemporary touches, this is unmistakably cutting-edge. The heart
of the home is a light-filled, open plan kitchen & living zone. A clever floor plan allows an additional living area to be
opened up, creating an easy flow for entertaining friends, or to be closed off for a more intimate family space.

Who’s taking part in the
It’s the 45th anniversary
of the Star Media
City2Surf. Reporter
Anan Zaki spoke to
some of the participants
aiming to be at the start
line on Sunday
Aaron Cooper, 43
Mr Cooper is set to take part
in his first City2Surf and will do
the 14km race.
“I just want to keep fit and test
the legs on running the distance.”
Mr Cooper plans to run a
half marathon
(21km) – which
is on his bucket
list – and
believes this is a
step towards the
goal.
“It’s the
Aaron Cooper
first time I’m
running 14km.
I’m a surfer,
I’m not really a runner. I used
to play rugby until I was 21 . .
. and, yeah, it [running] is just
something I’ve always wanted to
do,” he said.
Mr Cooper’s wife often takes
part in multi-sport events but
she will greet him at the finish
line as the couple have two young
children.
“When she gets fit, we’ll
definitely be doing other races as
a team,” he said.
David Clark,
29
Taking part in
the 14km event,
Mr Clark is
looking for a new
challenge. It will
be his second
David Clark time entering the
City2Surf.
“It’s just a wee challenge to just
test myself for a bit of fitness,” he
said.
“[The first time] was good. I
want to try something further, I
did the 6km [last year] and want
to try the 14km.”
He has been training hard
for the event and says he will be
ready for the race on March 24.
NEWBIE: Hailey McConchie will be running in her first
City2Surf this year.
“Currently I’m doing it myself
but we’ll see if my partner does it.
That will be just a wait and see.”
Hailey McConchie, 25
The mother of two used to be
focus on body building, but since
having her second child last year,
she’s switched to running.
It will be her first City2Surf.
“I’ve never been a runner.
People who tend to lift weight do
not like cardio whatsoever,” Mrs
McConchie said.
To lose weight after pregnancy,
she took up running. “I’ve lost a
lot of my baby weight . . . I started
an eight-week challenge and lost
about 6kg,” she said.
Getting into running was
difficult.
“At first it felt like a long time
to get running, even that first
kilometre. It felt like ages,” Mrs
McConchie said.
She will be taking part in the
6km event. “Every time I see a
race I just enrol myself and just
build myself in it.”
Mrs McConchie has heard
great things about the City2Surf
but couldn’t take part in it last
year as she had just given birth to
her second child a month before
the event. “I’d like to keep my
running up [this year]. It’s not
something I really enjoy but once
I find my rhythm 2-3km in, that’s
when I can see why some people
are addicted to running,” she
said.
Kelly Clements, 46
Mrs Clements
doesn’t live
far from the
start line near
Centennial Park.
She says the
City2Surf is a
good excuse to
Kelly
Clements
not pay for a gym
membership.
“It’s just my
one thing that makes me head
out and train each year. It’s
not too far being only 14km.
Rather than paying for a gym
membership, I sign up and it
makes me run,” Mrs Clements
said.
This will be her fourth
consecutive City2Surf. “A friend
got me into running and it was
that whole give it a go, it’s a
reasonably flat course and lots of
fun,” she said.
Unfortunately her friend

Clements will be running the

“I’ll be on my own but that
doesn’t matter because it’s so well
set up you don’t really care, you
just run.
“I haven’t stopped [training]
all year but I probably stepped
up distances in the last six weeks.
There might have been a few 5km
runs but I stepped it up to a few
10km.”
Nory Lansing, 28
Being a personal trainer,
Ms Lansing has many friends
and clients taking part in the
City2Surf.
“I’m a runner
in general, I
always like a
challenge in a
run. Living in
Christchurch,
it’s part of the
routine here,”
she said.
It’s her second
time doing the City2Surf. “
It was good fun [last year]
Nory Lansing
knowing so many runners in the
field. It’s a challenging course
but in saying that it’s just for
yourself really, not so much a
competition,” she said.
“I do heaps of running with my
clients so I think it’s motivating
and encouraging to be on the
course for them.
I mention it every week
in a [gym] newsletter and during
my running sessions to sign
up and do whatever they can,
running or walking,” Ms Lansing
said.

CITY2SURF
with Les Mills
Kristyn Ferry and Simon
Bradshaw
Simon Bradshaw, 30
Mr Bradshaw was
convinced by his partner
Kristyn Ferry to take part in
the 14km event.
“She did it last year and
enjoyed it and this year she’s
going to do it again. She said
she’d like me to do it with her
and I said why not.”
“She’s doing it more for a
social, keep fit aspect than it is for
a competitive aspect. So I’ve got
the same kind of idea to be doing
it to keep fit and healthy rather
than making the top 10,” he said.
Mr Bradshaw trains most days.
He has never entered a running
event before.
“I think I’ll be a bit nervous on
the day [of the race]. Just nervous
trying to get to the end,” Mr
Bradshaw said.
Seamus Tredinnick, 30
Running in the 6km event, Mr
Tredinnick, who is a keen sailor,
will be returning
to the event
for the second
consecutive year.
“My wife [Emily]
is a keen runner
and has done a
few marathons
so she’ll be doing
the 14km run,”
he said.
“Basically, at
Seamus
Tredinnick
least if I sign up for an event, it
gives me a bit of motivation to
work towards to getting me out
and running, which is probably a
good thing,” Mr Tredinnick said.
“When you’ve got a peg in
the ground it’s easier to move
towards that goal,” he said.
Mr Tredinnick’s goal is to
finish the event.

Retraining puts

‘United as one with
our Muslim friends’
Port Hills
list MP Nuk
Korako
focuses on
the ‘love,
fellowship,
and
unity’ shown by New
Zealanders in the face
of terror
I HAD originally written
this article with a view to
the change in season which
is approaching. The events
on Friday have utterly
changed my view.
In considering what
to say to you at this time
of great mourning and
sorrow, I will not dwell
on the small man who
sought to drive division
and hatred through our
nation’s heart.
Rather I want to focus
on the extraordinary
outpouring of love,
fellowship and unity we
have seen over the past few
days.
Up and down the
country Kiwis of every
race, creed and colour have
poured out of their homes
and into places of worship
and places of gathering to
show that the actions of
one man cannot change
who we are.
Our fellow New Zealand
Muslim community
has paid a terrible price
in bringing our nation
together.
Each and every one of us
is united as one with our
Muslim friends, family
and community. We stand
united in showing that
their pain, their loss, their
sacrifice will never be
forgotten by any of us.
This is the time when
we will search our souls,
seek out division and
hatred and meet it head
on with love, compassion,
and the light of unity
that defines us as New
Zealanders.
To the victims and the
families associated with
this awful day – we cannot
hope to understand the
devastation you face.
What we can do is be
here for you and work
with you to ensure not
only does this never
happen again – but that
we use this time of grief
and mourning to unite
more closely with you and
with each other as New
Zealanders united.
Ma te atua e manaaki e
tiaki tatou katoa.
It’s never too late to completely change
career, as Reece Scott has discovered.
Calling time on his 17-year career in the
travel industry, he’s completely changed
path and is now focused on becoming
a chef.
“At the time I was the South
Island sales manager for The Travel
Corporation, which involved
representing the company’s award
winning travel products to travel agents
and consumers throughout the South
Island, from Invercargill to Nelson,”
Reece says. “By then I’d been in the
industry for a long time and I just felt
the need to challenge myself again.”
In order to forge a new career path,
Reece knew he needed to retrain. “I’ve
always enjoyed working with food and
have had experience in the industry
before so I wanted to brush up on my
skills and seek employment in cookery.”
Reece says he chose to study at Ara
Institute of Canterbury because of its
reputation as a world-class tertiary
training centre. “The cookery school
at Ara has a reputation for preparing
students to a high standard and giving
them the best skills for employment.
They also have great facilities and
inspiring, knowledgeable tutors.”
One of those tutors is Stuart
Goodall, who’s had a hand in
training many students who’ve
gone on to become top chefs,
both here and overseas. “He really
knows his stuff,” Reece says. “He
bestows his knowledge to us in
a very relaxed way that’s easy to
understand.”
While Reece undertakes his
cookery course, he’s getting
to put his training into
practice at Ara’s on-campus
restaurant, Visions. “It’s
great to see how it all works,
from when an order comes
in right through to producing
a saleable product for paying
customers. It’s giving me the skills
and preparation to be ready for
employment.”
Reece is keen to encourage others
– especially those who aren’t happy
in their current career - to follow
his example and study towards a
new career. “Definitely do it,” he
says. “Retraining has prepared
me really well for employment
in this industry.”

6 to celebrate the past 65
years of educational history
of Linwood College.
In mid-2019, the
school’s buildings will be
demolished in preparation
for a full rebuild on the
site. At $44 million, the
rebuild budget is one of
the largest of any of the
Ministry of Education’s
rebuild programmes since
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Students enrolled at the
school will be relocated
to the former Avonside
Girls’ High site for the full
duration of the rebuild.
When news of the
rebuild was released,
approaches were made
to the school for an
opportunity to celebrate
its past.
At the time it was built
in 1954, Linwood High
was the first post-war, coeducational
school to open
in New Zealand.
While the school looked
more like a building
site than an educational
campus on its opening
day, the community soon
proudly rallied around
its new high school and
ensured it had resources
equivalent to any existing
school in the city.
To mark the demolition
of the buildings, a ticketed
Conversazione event will
be hosted on April 5 and a
free open day on April 6.
The event will end with a
farewell ceremony at 3pm.
This event will be open to
anyone in the community
to attend.
Past students from all
over New Zealand and
Australia have bought
tickets to attend the
farewell, says organising
committee chairwoman
Linda Rutland.
“People have a real
attachment to their old
school with the original
1954s remaining a very
tight-knit group.”

Our People
Rose Lindley
Returning to nursing to work in Africa
After 47 years as a
nurse, Mt Pleasant’s
Rose Lindley wanted to
get involved in aid work.
So she spent three weeks
on a mercy ship in Guinea,
West Africa. Sophie
Cornish talks to her about
the experience
Tell me about your trip on the
mercy ship?
I worked as a recovery nurse,
looking after people after they
have had surgery. I have done
that for more than 20 years in
Christchurch. It took more than
40 hours to get to Conakry, the
capital of Guinea in West Africa,
and more than 40 hour to get
home – it was hideous. The
mercy ship organisation is more
than 30-years-old. Basically it
is a Christian ship – it is run on
Christian principles. You don’t
have to be a Christian to work on
it. You are treated regardless of
your race or religion; there are no
barriers. They treat everything.
They go up the coast of Africa.
The countries of West Africa
invite them to come because they
can’t provide surgeries for people.
Even if they did, the people
couldn’t afford to pay for it. So
mercy ships provide free medical
and surgical care for these
patients. People come to the ship
at the beginning of its time in the
country and they are assessed for
suitability of surgery. Some people
they say yes to, some people
they can’t treat and have to go
home to die. There is a palliative
care team that follows them up.
Not everyone can be treated, but
they treat as many as they can.
They spend 11 months in every
port. Sometimes they take people
in at the beginning of their time
there, then they go away and
come back and have follow-up
surgery. It is funded by donations
from big corporations in
America. A lot of pharmaceutical
companies provide resources. All
the people on it work for free and
pay for everything.
So how does it all work with
the staff?
You pay for your airfares,
vaccinations and a monthly crew
to live on the ship, nothing is
free for staff. I was on it for three
weeks. Some people are on it for
two weeks and the longest person
has been on it for 30 years. He
brought up his whole family
on the ship – there is a really
good school on it. The thing I
always say about the ship is that
it should never work, but it does.
We have 400 people, plus 200 day
crew, living on a ship together.
There is something like 30 or 40
nationalities working together
and it’s the happiest environment
I have ever worked in. It was
brilliant, it was amazing. You
could be working with someone
from Australia, the Netherlands
or Germany, but English is the
spoken language. They have
interpreters throughout the place.
From September last year to
when I was there, they had 214
staff through the theatre block.
A lot of the staff go back again.
For me, I wish I did it when I
was in my 20s. I would have gone
back, but it’s a bit late now, it is a
long journey to travel. There are
a lot of jobs I could do. There is
a place called the hope centre,
where people stay until their next
surgery. There are a lot of jobs –
plumbers, electricians, every job
you could think of, it’s like a wee
town.
Was everything as you
expected it to be?
I watched the videos online
and it was what I expected,
but the atmosphere was way
more amazing than I ever
anticipated. It was beautiful.
The conditions we saw on the
ship, we would never see in
New Zealand, because we have
free medical care here. There is
a huge stigma about disability
there, it is considered a curse.
These people are ostracised from
their communities because they
are disfigured, so they come to
the ship. No one on the ship is
revolted by what they look like,
we know they need help. So they
immediately feel they are loved
and not ostracised. When people
feel they are loved and not being
told they are different, there
is hope. The extremity of the
disability was way more than you
would ever see in New Zealand.
There were children born with
cataracts, no one in New Zealand
is born with cataracts. It’s to do
with malnutrition and disease
with the mothers. There were
goiters (when the thyroid gland
becomes enlarged). The biggest
one they removed when I was
there was 1.6kg. Nothing is
treated at an early phase, there is
no early treatment. These people
live on less than $2 a day. Things
are cheap there, but if you don’t
have an income, it is still not
enough.
Did you ever feel unsafe there?
Conakry is certainly not on
the tourist destination route. It’s
so poor. Most western tourists
like a little bit of comfort; they
like to see giraffes and elephants.
The infrastructure is pretty
limited there. At the moment,
it’s reasonably politically stable. I
think the ship was in Cameroon
last and that’s really unstable
at the moment. They have this
awful, unstable political situation
in most of these countries. I
never felt unsafe, though, not
once. They really love the mercy
ships, they are French-speaking
so they would say ‘merci.’ We
weren’t allowed to go into
town by ourselves, they didn’t
recommend it. To be honest, it is
all pretty unsafe, poverty drives
people to it.
Tell me about your 47 years in
nursing?
I trained in Christchurch. I
went down the surgical route of
nursing. I have always wanted to
do aid work, but when you have
a husband, children, a mortgage,
all that sort of thing, it makes it
harder. I did some private work,
but I mainly worked at Christchurch
Hospital, working in the
Intensive Recovery Unit and
in recovery for 14 years. I have
been overseas and worked in the
outback of Australia. You might
think I have an obsession with
indigenous people, and I have, I
love them. I worked in this place
called Halls Creek, way up in
Kimberley in Western Australia.

Our People
From nursing to small business owner
•From page 17
I was a nurse in a hospital there
for five months.
What was the difference
between your time as a nurse in
New Zealand and on the ship?
We are very privileged in New
Zealand. We have a really good
health system. I have seen some
of the most appalling behaviour
from adults in the medical
profession. But on the ship, I
have never seen such humility
among the staff. That’s what we
are all about – we are here for
the patients, not our own egos.
There is so much money involved
in medicine. There is medical
insurance, hospitals, private
hospitals – such vast quantities of
money. Over there, there isn’t any
money involved, everyone works
for free. We are all there for the
patients. The guy that has been
there for 30 years, Gary Parker,
he is amazing. He puts people’s
faces back together in five or six
hours. He does the most amazing
surgeries. The sort of surgery
he’s doing, he would be a multimillionaire
in America, but he is
sponsored to work on the ship.
What were some of the most
significant moments for you on
the ship?
Watching the children having
their bandages taken off and they
can see for the first time in their
lives. I cry, I’m such a big baby. It
just gets me, because of what you
know, that these people’s lives are
changed forever.
The stuff they are doing is just
basic stuff so the people can have
a decent life. I went down to the
Ponseti clinic one day, that is
where they treat clubbed feet. The
patient’s feet are rotated inwards,
they just don’t function. So they
do a simple treatment over a
course of weeks and months and
the kids can walk again normally.
It’s incredible. The surgery they
do is always life-changing. In
their notes, they have a picture
of what they looked like when
they came in beforehand. We
would always look at the pictures
and 99 per cent of the time we
were saying ‘oh my goodness.’
We would ask if they want to see
a mirror and some would say,
yes, and some would say, no, and
sometimes they would get the
mirror and just be beaming. It
was just amazing.
Tell me a little about the
business you are running now?
I love markets, I’m a foodie. So
SNACKS: Rose
Lindley runs
her healthy
food business,
Mumma Bear,
out of a shop
in Mt Pleasant.
I started my own wee business. I
used to write recipes for a health
and fitness website. I started
with two products, I am now at
16 products. I used to go out to
a commercial kitchen at Lincoln
to make it all. Then two years
ago, the wee shop at the bottom
of the hill came up, so we rented
it. That’s what I want to do
now, make healthy muesli and
porridges and crackers and bars.
My husband is retired and he was
a food scientist, so he does all
my nutritional stuff. I like selling
good, healthy food. It’s called
Mumma Bear – food as it should
be. I got the name because my
kids call me Mumma Bear.
I woke up one morning thinking
that’s what it should be called.
I get really grumpy with food
in the supermarkets because
you don’t know what you are
eating. They don’t know what the
heck it is. I am really honest with
my stuff, what is on the back
is what is in it. As of next
month, we will be selling
ingredients from the shop, as
long as they bring their own
containers.
Tell me about your family?
We have been here in Mt
Pleasant for 32 years. We built
our house and we have lived in
this area all our married life.
We have two children, Grace
and David. Grace is a speech
language therapist in Paris. She
has been there for nine years.
David has got a finance degree
and works for company called
Compass in Tampa, Florida.
He is shifting up to Chicago to
October. They are there with
their boyfriends and girlfriends.
I don’t have any grandchildren
yet, but I want them back here if
they do have grandchildren. My
husband Tim is on the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board, he loves it and is really
good at it.
