$1.1m gifted<br />
for long-term<br />
needs of terror<br />
attack victims<br />
MORE THAN $1.1m has been<br />
donated to help support the<br />
long-term needs of victims of the<br />
March 15 terror attack.<br />
In a ceremony with Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel yesterday, the<br />
international Jewish community<br />
gifted the money, which will be<br />
known as the NZ Abrahamic<br />
Fund.<br />
Said Ms Dalziel: “<strong>The</strong><br />
Christchurch Foundation regard<br />
it as a privilege to act as stewards<br />
for the NZ Abrahamic Fund<br />
on behalf of everyone affected<br />
by the attacks. <strong>The</strong> world will<br />
remember the response long<br />
after they forget<br />
the name of<br />
the person who<br />
committed<br />
this atrocity.<br />
Today is art of<br />
our healing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> attack<br />
as designed<br />
to divide us,<br />
but instead it<br />
united us.”<br />
New Zealand Jewish Congregation<br />
spokesman Stephen<br />
Goodman said the Jewish community<br />
are unfortunately, well<br />
aware of the long term needs that<br />
stem from such an attack.<br />
“We see this as something that<br />
can enhance our two communities.<br />
An attack on one faith is an<br />
attack against all faith groups.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> official ceremony was preceded<br />
by a visit to the Durham<br />
St Synagogue and the Al Noor<br />
mosque.<br />
Speaking at Al Noor Mosque,<br />
Imam Gamal Fouda, who was<br />
leading prayers the day of the attacks,<br />
said the three Abrahamic<br />
religions are very close, and<br />
Judaism and Islam are closest of<br />
all.<br />
“We are siblings. What is happening<br />
in the Middle East is not<br />
about religion, it’s about politics.<br />
People of religion share love and<br />
humanity. New Zealand has<br />
set a good example of love and<br />
compassion. We are a model to<br />
the rest of the world.”<br />
Community advocate dies<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A COMMUNITY hero whose<br />
dying wish was to make her<br />
neighbourhood safer has lost her<br />
battle with cancer.<br />
Gillian Sheard, of Richmond,<br />
died on Friday after being diagnosed<br />
about eight months ago.<br />
She was given three to <strong>18</strong><br />
months to live.<br />
Ms Sheard’s plight to make<br />
her community safer resulted<br />
in an upgrade to a pedestrian<br />
crossing on Stanmore Rd, which<br />
she believed was often unnoticed<br />
by motorists. Now dubbed<br />
locally as ‘Gillian’s crossing,’<br />
it was painted bright red by<br />
council staff in a bid to improve<br />
safety.<br />
Last month, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported<br />
Ms Sheard’s determination<br />
had paid off when she won her<br />
battle with city council when the<br />
infrastructure, transport and<br />
environment committee asked<br />
staff to look at improving the<br />
crossing.<br />
She first raised concerns<br />
with the city council in 2016.<br />
But, staff came back and said<br />

POLICE WANT to identify<br />
this man who used a stolen<br />
fuel card to obtain $5000 of<br />
petrol and diesel.<br />
Detective Sergeant Don<br />
Fisher wants to speak to<br />
anyone who could identify<br />
the man, the tanker in the<br />
photo or his vehicle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> card was used multiple<br />
times at different locations<br />
for petrol and diesel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> photo above shows<br />
the man fuelling up at a<br />
Bishopdale service station<br />
in early June.<br />
Said Detective Sergeant<br />
Fisher: “<strong>The</strong> theft is a timely<br />
reminder for companies<br />
and businesses to be vigilant<br />
about fuel cards.<br />
“As you can appreciate<br />
these big companies have<br />
fuel cards and they get<br />
used and swapped around<br />

HERO: Gillian Sheard has lost her battle with cancer.<br />
the crossing may need to be<br />
removed.<br />
“When I heard they were<br />
going to get rid of it, I got really<br />
annoyed. I said no, you’re not<br />
going to do that,” she said.<br />
and often it isn’t until the<br />
invoices come in that they<br />
start looking at it and realise<br />
something is amiss.<br />
“We would warn<br />
companies who have had<br />
employees dismissed<br />
from the company or had<br />
“I’m a person that is determined,<br />
I will go full hog and<br />
make something happen.”<br />
Her passion for the cause<br />
led Ms Sheard to collect 500<br />
signatures in a petition from<br />
employees leave that had<br />
access to fuel cards to make<br />
sure their fuel cards are<br />
returned at the time or<br />
immediately before they<br />
leave their employment and<br />
if not, cancel the fuel card,”<br />
he said.<br />
Richmond residents.<br />
Ms Sheard spent her last<br />
few years advocating for the<br />
Richmond community and<br />
working as a neighbourhood<br />
support officer.<br />
Identity of man who used stolen fuel card sought<br />
