$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 />
