‘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 />

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 />

he drove away and Mr<br />

Mr Aziz a vehicle.<br />

that,” he said.<br />

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

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 />

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 />

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 />

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.

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 />

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 />
