‘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 


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

and I said ‘I’m going to start an 

ice cream business’ and within 

two weeks it was open.” 

Mr Kavanagh, who is

currently in the final year of a

him, yelling that he was

he drove away and Mr 

Aziz said he chased the

Tarrant killed seven

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Catch-22 for Black Cat 

Rocket launch 


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

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 


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 


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.

value: $91.97 p.a. 

possums, feral cats, 

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 


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 


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.

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.”

Now 

Tourist numbers threaten ‘fragile’ Akaroa 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Akaroa Civic 

Trust chairman 

Mike Norris 

has his say 

on how mass 

tourism is 

impacting 

Akaroa 

SINCE 1969 the Akaroa Civic 

Trust has been protecting the 

town’s beauty, history and 

character. 

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 


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 

2011 after an inspection from 

engineers found it to be unfit 

for public use. 

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 

How to get involved in the 

City2Surf 

•Entry forms are available 

online, at Pak’n Save and 

New World supermarkets, 

and at The Athlete’s Foot 

Northlands and Riccarton 

•Standard entry can be 

purchased until March 

24 for $25. Late entry on 

the day, March 24, will be 

$30. Children aged 10 and 

under are free 

has rolled her ankle and Mrs 

Clements will be running the 

event solo for the first time. 

“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 


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.

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.” 

Celebration to send 

off Linwood College 

A CELEBRATION is 

planned for April 5 and 

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 


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.
