New fire station or school proposed for section 

A LARGE SECTION of land 

owned by the city council since 

1913 - and set aside for the 

expansion of Diamond Harbour 

- could be the site of a new fire 

station or school. 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand wants to build a new 

fire station on the land, 

while Nōku Te Ao Charitable 

Trust has also registered its 

interest in buying some of the 

land to develop a new school. 

The 39.02ha block at 27 

Hunters Rd and 42 Whero Ave is 

currently being used for grazing, 

with bush regeneration taking 

place in three gullies, said city 

council head of city growth and 

property Bruce Rendall. 

The interest from FENZ and 

Nōku Te Ao came after the 

council sought community 

feedback on the future of the land 

in 2021. 

Rendall said the feedback 

showed the community wanted 

to be involved in planning 

for the future of the land 

and for the gullies to be 

protected. 

“We know the community 

values the gullies and wants 

them to be retained, with native 

trees and walking tracks,” 

Rendall said. 

“Council staff think this is a 

good use for the gullies and this 

will be reflected in our draft 

spatial plan, which is under 

development.” 

Staff are also preparing 

technical reports to support 

the development of the spatial 

plan for the site. Consultation 

on the two proposals opened on 

Monday. 

“Having received proposals for 

parts of the block, we need 

to seek community feedback, 

with a view to making a decision 

on those sites before the full 

draft spatial plan is ready,” 

Rendall said.

NEWS 3 

How Robyn and Jess saved each other 

ROBYN HAUGHEY decided 

she wanted to be dog-free for 

a while after her 14-year-old 

labrador staffy cross Lou passed 

away – and she was diagnosed 

with an aggressive form of breast 

cancer. 

But she only lasted three weeks 

before telling her husband Mark 

she needed the companionship 

of a dog to get her through the 

invasive treatment. So they 

headed to the city council’s 

animal shelter the very same day. 

Said Haughey: “When Jess 

was bought out into the exercise 

area, I saw this cute, scruffy, 

and charming little terrier/jack 

russell cross that ran around in 

circles before dropping at my 

feet then putting her front paws 

around my leg to hug me as if 

claiming me as her prize.” 

Said Haughey: “That was the 

moment I knew I wanted to take 

her home as she had chosen me.” 

Jess is Haughey’s fifth dog 

adopted from the animal 

shelter in the last 30 years and 

offers her so much more than 

companionship. 

“Going through chemotherapy 

over the last year, with all its 

horrid side effects, as well as a 

double mastectomy has tested 

me and my family to the limits, 

but simply looking at Jess has 

filled my heart with warmth, 

love, satisfaction and a strong 

feeling of contentment in that I 

know we have saved each other,” 

she said. 

“For all the countless days 

“(Jess) gave me hope and belief that we could beat this 

horrid disease together.” – Robyn Haughey 

where I lay on the couch feeling 

rock bottom, Jess would climb 

up and snuggle into me as if 

trying to share and ease my pain 

and discomfort. It worked and 

gave me hope and belief that we 

could beat this horrid disease 

together.” 

Haughey has recently been 

discharged from the oncology 

department as her doctors are 

satisfied that she is cancer free. 

“Jess has played an integral 

part in my life to get me 

HOPE: 

Robyn 

Haughey 

found 

comfort in 

adopting 

her furry 

friend, 

Jess, after 

she was 

diagnosed 

with 

breast 

cancer.

NEWSLINE 

to this point and I love her 

unconditionally.” 

To anyone thinking about 

getting a new dog, Haughey said 

think seriously about saving a 

dog from the animal shelter. 

“Dogs end up at the shelter 

through no fault of their own 

and they all deserve to find a 

forever home to receive the love, 

responsible care, and affection 

from their owners. That love, 

care and affection is repaid in 

abundance by the dogs and can 

greatly enrich people’s lives.” 

She said it is a hassle-free 

process to visit the shelter and 

assess the dogs that best suit 

your needs and lifestyle. 

“The staff are all heavily 

invested in the process and 

collectively they all want the 

outcomes to be positive for both 

the animal and the adopters. 

When you take a dog from the 

shelter, you know they are in 

good health, vaccinated and the 

costs are minimal,” she said. 

• Dogs available for 

adoption from the Animal 

Shelter are posted on the 

city council Facebook 

page. Additionally, give the 

shelter a call on 941 7948 

if you want to know more.

Feedback sought on land use proposals 

• From page 1 

“I’d like to reassure those who 

gave us feedback in 2021 that 

neither the fire station proposal 

nor the school proposal involves 

any of the gullies,” said Rendall. 

The proposed fire station and 

school will form part of the draft 

spatial plan. Rendall says the full 

draft spatial plan will go out for 

separate consultation when it is 

completed. 

FENZ is eyeing about 0.5ha of 

the block to move the Diamond 

Harbour Fire Station. 

The Diamond Harbour volunteer 

brigade’s existing station at 

89 Marine Drive is a registered 

earthquake-prone building and 

must be brought up to the building 

code or demolished by April 

24, 2025. 

The section of land FENZ want 

to build on is across the road 

and around the bend from the 

current site, between 90 and 110 

Marine Drive. 

FENZ district 

commander 

Dave Stackhouse 

says the proposed 

new building 

would meet 

100 per cent of 

the New Building 

Standard. 

“It will be a 

fit-for-purpose, 

resilient, future-proof facility, 

Dave 

Stackhouse 

incorporating decontamination 

facilities, standby generator, 

PPE locker room and a training 

room,” he said. 

“It will meet all statutory, 

regulatory and organisational 

requirements, with the growth 

of Diamond Harbour and surrounding 

communities in mind.” 

On average, the brigade attends 

100 call-outs a year, with 

65 per cent being medical events, 

he says. For this reason, a helipad 

is included in the proposed 

development. 

“At present, when a helicopter 

is needed in a medical emergency, 

it lands on the sports ground or 

Laurenson Park,” Stackhouse said. 

“About once a month, the crew 

needs to assist in setting up a 

landing zone for the helicopter, 

so it would be a huge improvement 

to have a helipad onsite.” 

The city council has also been 

approached by Nōku Te Ao 

Charitable Trust with a proposal 

to buy 8ha of the block. 

The trust, acting on behalf of 

Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, wants 

to set up a designated character 

school, Te Pā o Rākaihautū (Te 

Pā) on the site. 

Designated character schools, 

in this case a Māori medium 

school, are state schools. Alongside 

the New Zealand curriculum, 

they develop their own 

aims, purposes and objectives 

and teach values aligning with 

their philosophy or culture. 

Te Pā was established in 2015. 

It has a temporary campus at 

the former Linwood Intermediate 

School site on McLean 

St, and has been looking for a 

permanent city site for the past 

10 years. If the proposal is approved, 

the school will run over 

two sites – a city site (yet to be 

determined) and the Diamond 

Harbour site. 

Te Pā o Rākaihautū chair 

Rangimarie 

Parata Takurua 

said different 

learning opportunities 

would be 

offered at each 

site. While many 

of its students 

live in the city, 

she says the 

school’s whakapapa 

is rooted on 

Rangimarie 

Parata 

Takurua 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks 

Peninsula. 

“At the core of Te Pā’s philosophy 

is place-based learning 

centred around the environment 

and cultural identity,” she said. 

“There are few places more 

relevant or better suited to this 

than on Te Pātaka o Rakaihautu, 

surrounded by our five rūnanga 

VACANT: The 

block of land 

at 27 Hunters 

Rd and 43 

Whero Ave

communities at Rāpaki, Koukourarata, 

Ōnuku, Wairewa and 

Taumutu.” 

Under the proposal, Te Hapū 

o Ngāti Wheke would own the 

land, and lease part or all of it to 

the Ministry of Education. 

Rendall says it’s important to 

get feedback from the community 

on the two proposals. 

“Feedback we receive from 

the Diamond Harbour community 

and residents of the wider 

Christchurch district will help 

the elected council decide whether 

to support the two proposals,” 

he said. 

People across Banks Peninsula 

and Christchurch have until 

5pm on February 19 to give the 

city council feedback on the 

proposals.

Cooperative Care Training for Stress-Free Pet Healthcare 

Does your dog turn into an escape artist 

at the mere sight of nail clippers? Do 

attempts to clean their ears or brush 

their teeth feel like an ongoing battle? If 

you thought there was no way to achieve 

these tasks, we have another solution – 

Cooperative Care training. This approach 

focuses on building trust, cooperation, 

and positive relationships between pets 

and their owners, aiming to make vet 

visits, grooming, and other essential 

healthcare tasks a stress-free and enjoyable 

experience for both pets and their human 

companions. 

Banish Stress with Cooperative Care 

The core principle of Cooperative Care training 

is to eliminate stress from your pet’s health care 

routines. By associating these activities with 

positive experiences, such as tasty treats and 

gentle handling, your pet learns to embrace vet visits, 

grooming sessions, and other necessary healthcare tasks 

without anxiety. 

Build a Stronger Bond through Enhanced 

Communication 

Cooperative Care isn’t just about your pet; it’s about 

strengthening the bond between you and your furry 

companion. Through positive reinforcement and clear 

communication, you’ll develop a deeper connection 

with your pet. Imagine a scenario where your pet 

willingly participates in their care routines, creating an 

environment of trust and understanding. 

Unlock the Secret to Improved Well-Being 

Pets comfortable with healthcare procedures tend to be 

healthier and happier overall. Cooperative Care training 

ensures that your pet not only tolerates but actively 

enjoys these routines, contributing to their overall wellbeing. 

From routine vet check-ups to 

grooming sessions, the positive associations formed 

during training lead to a happier and healthier pet. 

Empowering Pet Owners with Valuable Skills 

Beyond benefiting the pets, Cooperative Care training 

empowers pet owners with valuable skills to confidently 

and effectively care for their furry friends. Owners learn to 

navigate healthcare routines with ease, ensuring that their 

pets receive the care they need without 

unnecessary stress or resistance. 

Introducing Station Training: Your Pet’s 

“Consent” to Care 

A key component of Cooperative Care 

training is station training, a practice 

that involves teaching pets to willingly 

participate in their care routines. By 

introducing the concept of giving consent 

to handling, station training sets the 

foundation for positive interactions 

between pets and their owners during 

healthcare procedures. 

In station training, pets learn that being 

on their husbandry station (something 

as simple as a mat or a towel reserved 

specifically for this purpose) results in tasty 

treats, creating a positive association. Once 

they eagerly anticipate the station, you 

can gradually introduce handling activities 

such as massaging their paws, looking into 

ears, or lifting the lip. The key is to stop handling if your 

pet gets off the station, ensuring a positive experience 

and gradual acclimatisation. The concept of consent in 

handling, although relatively new in companion animal 

training, has been successfully practiced by zoo staff for 

years with a variety of animals. 

Kowhai Vet Clinic invites pet owners to explore the world 

of Cooperative Care training, where pets become active 

and willing participants in their own care, leading to a 

lifetime of positive and stress-free healthcare experiences. 

The clinic is committed to advancing the well-being 

of pets and fostering stronger bonds between owners 

and their furry companions through innovative and 

compassionate care.

McKenzie aims for Paralympics 

• By Dylan Smits 

MCKENZIE DRAGE is in 

the pool six days a week in 

preparation for the New Zealand 

championships in April, with 

a long-term goal of competing 

at the Los Angeles 2028 

Paralympics Games. 

The 19-year-old from Mc- 

Queens Valley was born with 

Apert syndrome, but it has never 

stopped her from pursuing her 

dreams. 

“I am very determined and like 

to face challenges with a positive 

mindset,” she said. 

Apert syndrome causes fusion 

of bones in the fingers, toes, and 

head and neck. Various surgeries 

were needed during Drage’s infancy 

and childhood to improve 

her quality of life. 

“School and social life have 

been a challenge but I’ve never 

let my disability hold me back 

from setting goals and achieving 

them,” she said. 

When swimming, Apert 

syndrome mainly affects Drage’s 

range of movement as she cannot 

fully extend her arms, neck or 

shoulders. 

“I have limited reach and kicking 

ability, but I follow a daily 

stretching programme to try and 

develop my flexibility.” 

Drage, who attended Hagley 

College until graduating last year, 

lives on the family farm with her 

parents and older brother. Farm 

life has taught her how to work 

hard. 

“I’ve learned how to get jobs 

done and be organised with my 

time.” 

The family owns 80 free range 

chickens, and Drage is partly 

responsible for selling their 

eggs to customers in 

Christchurch. 

She also works part time as a 

lifeguard at Jellie Park. 

THE RIGHT 

LANE: 

McKenzie 

Drage with 

the award 

qualifying her 

team for last 

year’s Oceania 

tri series. 

Drage’s longterm 

goal is 

to compete 

in the 2028 

Paralympics. 

She has always enjoyed 

swimming and started 

competing in year 11. 

“Being able to swim well helps 

me feel confident in any water. 

I really like the discipline of 

training hard and feeling fit and 

healthy.” 

Drage is part of the Aquagym 

Swim Club where she is coached 

by Emma Smith. 

In September, she represented 

New Zealand for the first time at 

the Oceania tri series swimming 

‘Everyone has differences and strengths, and life is about 

making the most of what you have’ – McKenzie Drage 

championships in Hastings. 

She won the 100m individual 

medley, achieving a personal 

best of 1min 52.4sec. 

“I feel really satisfied when I 

get a personal best time in a race 

I have been focusing on,” she 

said. 

“They don’t come easy though, 

there’s a lot of hard work and 

sometimes you get disappointed 

when you don’t make a time.” 

Drage is training hard ahead 

of the New Zealand swimming 

championships in April. 

With her eyes on the future, 

Drage wants to achieve 

qualifying times for the world 

para series in Melbourne next 

year and then the Los Angeles 

2028 Paralympic Games. 

Being a paraswimmer has 

given her amazing opportunities, 

she said, like meeting her hero, 

Paralympian Sophie Pascoe, 

and being able to represent 

New Zealand in international 

competitions. 

“Everyone has differences 

and strengths, and life is about 

making the most of what 

you have.”

Cultivating 

food security 

and gardening 

know-how 


THE MANAGER of a 

community garden in Sumner is 

taking crop growing back to its 

roots with the goal of creating a 

self-sustaining food source. 

Gavin Hawke, 54, has a passion 

for horticulture, and he’s 

using his skills in an effort to 

increase local food security. 

‘There’s nothing simpler in life 

then actually building soil and 

growing something. We’re trying 

to show people how easy it is to 

grow naturally.” 

He Mara Kai – meaning ‘The 

Food Garden’ – is a 2000m 2 

section located on the corner of 

Paisley St and Wakefield Ave. 

It follows two key horticultural 

principles 

that guide it towards being 

a fertile and self-sustaining food 

source, said Hawke. 

The first is hügelkultur or 

“mound culture”, a technique 

where a mound constructed 

from decaying wood and plant 

materials is used as a plant bed. 

“Wood will take 20 years to 

break down and you won’t need 

any fertiliser,” he said. 

“The wood underneath works 

as a slow release nutrient. It also 

acts as a sponge for water.” 

No digging is required. 

“It’s about how to grow food 

with the least amount of work.” 

The second technique, permaculture, 

is an approach to 

land management where plants 

are allowed to grow freely in an 

unstructured layout. 

Hawke said this 

encourages a 

self-seeding garden, which will 

eventually require little human 

maintenance. 

“We just want to help nature 

take its natural course. We’re 

pretty unique here because 

there’s no structure really.” 

The garden has 40 mounds of 

different sizes which grow a wide 

range of fruits, vegetables and 

flowers. 

Except for the first time a new 

seed is planted, the garden does 

not buy seeds. 

“With permaculture, 

everything self-seeds,” Hawke 

said. 

He started developing 

the garden 

on land he 

leases from the city council, 

opposite his home, in June 2022. 

A software designer by day, he 

spends his evenings and weekends 

managing the garden. 

“There’s so much food there. 

At any time of the year there’s 

always something to eat.” 

With the help of two volunteers, 

Hawke is developing high 

quality soil for the garden with 

locally sourced compost. 

They collect horse manure, 

green bin waste, and coffee 

grinds and food scraps from 

local cafes. 

“Eventually we will end up 

with beautiful soil that is filled 

with nutrients.” 

Hawke’s long-term goal is 

to increase food security and 

demonstrate the effectiveness of 

mound culture and permaculture. 

“That garden could easily 

self-sustain 20 different families.” 

Expanding his methods to 

other empty land in Sumner 

could increase food security even 

further, Hawke said. 

He wants the garden to 

become a more collaborative 

effort in the future, with more 

volunteers. 

“People who can’t grow 

or haven’t got the space are 

welcome to come and help out 

and enjoy the harvest.” 

• People interested 

in volunteering are 

encouraged to head 

along to the garden on 

weekends 

GREEN THUMB: Gavin Hawke manages the He Mara Kai community garden in Sumner. He’s motivated by increasing food security and spreading 

awareness of mound culture and permaculture.

Hōhepa artists 

to exhibit work 


SPONSORED CONTENT 

VOTE: Voting 

for the vacant 

position on 

the Te Pātaka 

o Rākaihautū 

Banks Peninsula 

Community 

Board opens on 

Friday. 

at Rei Gallery 

CREATIVE: Young 

painter Rosie 

Johnson-Prior’s 

abstract art, which 

is inspired by 

people close to 

her who passed 

away last year, will 

be featured at 

Rei Gallery’s latest 

exhibition. 


A PAINTER with down syndrome is 

bringing her abstract art to a Lyttelton 

exhibition. 

Rosie Johnson-Prior from Taylors Mistake 

is a 20-year-old artist with dreams of 

opening her own workshop. 

“She likes to be able to show people 

what she can do and how she can express 

herself through art,” said her mother, 

Suzanne Johnson. 

Rei Gallery owner Damian Mackie 

created the exhibition as a way for intellectually 

disabled artists to display their 

canvas work. 

The exhibition is called Ngā Whare o 

Takiwatanaga, meaning ‘The many houses 

of Autism.’ 

Most of the 10 featured artists worked 

with Mackie during workshops with the 

disability organisation Hōhepa Canterbury 

last year. 

Johnson-Prior, along with the other artists, 

has chosen a theme for her painting 

– aroha. 

The young artist chose the theme after 

experiencing the loss of two people close 

to her last year. 

The pink on the painting represents her 

cousin Dell Johnson and the purple for 

her dance instructor Adriaan Beedie. 

The yellow represents the love between 

Dell and her husband Jimmy. 

The painting features a love heart in the 

centre, which Johnson-Prior is going to 

detail further with Māori patterns. 

Johnson-Prior graduated from Rudolph 

Steiner School at the end of 2023. 

She has been interested in art throughout 

schooling but began delving into 

abstract art last year with the help of a 

teacher aide. 

“Mostly she uses a pallette knife instead 

of a brush to get the effects she wants,” 

said Johnson. 

She believes her daughter’s down syndrome 

helps her creatively in some ways. 

“There’s not the same self-consciousness 

or worry about what somebody’s going to 

think. It’s just really about being present 

in the moment and that flow of creativity.” 

She said her daughter will sometimes 

paint on multiple canvases at once for a 

creativity boost. 

Johnson-Prior currently works at her 

family’s chocolate business, She Chocolaterie, 

in the city centre. 

With her family’s support, this year 

she has the ambition of starting her own 

workshop and teaching art there with her 

older sister. 

The exhibition runs from Friday to 

February 6. 

The themes of the other artists include 

taio (the environment), kaitiakaitanga 

(guardianship), rereke (point of difference) 

and whakapapa (ancestry). 

REMEMBERED: Rosie Johnson-Prior 

and her dance instructor Adriaan 

Beedie who passed away last year. 

Her painting partly represents the 

love she had for him.

Etching away the hours: Nautical 

• By Chris Barclay 

JOHN F Kennedy brought a 

seafaring tradition back from 

the depths of obscurity before 

his assassination, and now a Mt 

Pleasant artist has perfected his 

own depiction of a dying art. 

Scrimshaw originated off 

the United States of America’s 

New England coast – President 

Kennedy’s home state of Massachusetts 

– in the mid-1700s 

by artistic whalers to break the 

tedium of long voyages. 

They whiled away untold 

hours at sea by etching designs 

– usually the vessel they crewed, 

the girlfriend at home or a 

mythical sea creature – on to 

ivory teeth extracted from their 

catch. 

Scrimshanders, as they were 

known, also decorated knives, 

buttons and yarn winders by 

using shark skin or pumice to 

smooth the surface before a jack 

knife or sail needle created an 

outline. 

Soot from the ship’s oven, 

squid ink, tobacco juice or 

gunpowder mixed with whale oil 

then produced pigment to make 

the design visible. 

There is no open fire, or 

pungent tobacco wafting in 

Gus Milne’s workshop, yet the 

72-year-old is still faithful to the 

hobby he discovered by chance 

four decades ago. 

His creations are handmade 

with a craft knife and a pin vice 

before ink is applied. Sandpaper 

is used to erase mistakes. 

Milne, an avid model maker 

since his teenage years, is also 

self-taught. 

There were no classes or 

YouTube tutorials, and the 

former workmate who turned 

him to scrimshaw was solely a 

collector. 

“He wore an ivory pendant one 

day and I thought I quite like the 

idea of that,” Milne said. 

He cut his teeth, so to speak, 

on beef bone, which is hardly the 

finished article. 

“The trouble with beef bone is 

you only get to ink it three times 

and it bleeds into the bone. It 

also has a grain and it tends to 

grip the blade sometimes and 

it will take you off in directions 

SEAL OF APPROVAL: John F Kennedy reinvigorated 

interest in scrimshaw during his presidency. 

CRAFTSMAN: Gus Milne has been immersed in the nautical artform scrimshaw for more 

than 40 years. 

PHOTO: CHRIS BARCLAY 

you don’t want to go.” 

So Milne graduated to 

scrimshaw’s base of choice, 

ivory, a polarising product in 

this day and age. 

His website (www. 

cressyscrimshaw.co.nz) details 

how scrimshaw fits with The 

Convention on International 

Trade in Endangered Species, 

which New Zealand joined in 

1989. 

“I’m never going to do it on 

elephant tusks,” he said. 

Milne works with pre-ban 

ivory and said although whaling 

ended in New Zealand waters in 

1964, there were thousands of 

whale teeth in legitimate private 

ownership. 

To emphasise the point he 

opens a case including ivory 

mammoth tusks from the Arctic 

Circle aged between 6000 to 

‘God knows how many’ years. 

Mammoth ivory is acceptable 

because they are extinct rather 

than an endangered species. 

There are also walrus tusks 

and ivory teeth from sperm 

whales, last purchased through 

domestic auctions and antique 

stores five years ago. 

Milne has whale ivory items 

available but now uses it for 

personal use. 

Sale or commissioned items 

are now assembled from the 

keys of unwanted pianos, after 

he noticed a bookmark of that 

origin on Instagram 18 months 

ago. 

“This is more acceptable to my 

‘This is more acceptable 

to my way of thinking 

because it’s old ivory piano 

keys that are going to the 

dump’ – Gus Milne 

way of thinking because it’s old 

ivory piano keys that are going to 

the dump,” he explained. 

His earliest piano keys were 

played in London in 1876; he 

recently acquired 200 from a 

store clean out in Timaru. 

Milne, who is unaware of any 

other scrimshanders in New 

Zealand, used piano ivory for 

triptychs and has now branched 

out to wider compositions. 

He gauges the production 

time in several weeks rather 

than hours and estimates he 

has produced 200 artworks – 

including those from whale 

and mammoth ivory – over his 

career. 

There are no plans to retire 

though scrimshaw tests his 

singular focus after he studies 

paintings or photographs. 

“You have to take breaks, you 

tend not to blink so your eyes 

dry out,” said Milne, who priced 

his most valuable piece at 

$3500. 

Milne primarily illustrates 

vessels of a bygone era and 

panoramas of Antarctica – often 

complemented by penguins and 

orca whales – though he has also 

reproduced the Wahine listing 

on Barrett Reef in 1968. 

An earlier shipwreck amid 

New Zealand’s Subantarctic 

Islands underlined a welcome 

educational benefit to his 

passion, as Milne researched the 

loss of the British four-masted 

steel barque Dundonald in 

March, 1907. 

Laden with wheat on a 

journey from Sydney bound 

for Cornwall in the UK, the 

Dundonald slammed onto rocks 

on Disappointment Island’s 

west coast, 8km northwest of 

Auckland Island. 

KEYED IN: Precision and attention to detail is paramount 

for a scrimshander.

SHIPSHAPE: The 

Dundonald on 

the Avon River 

at Bristol taken 

between 1891 and 

1907, and shortly 

before it was swept 

onto the cliffs of 

Disappointment 

Island (above). 

He discovered 16 of the 

28-strong crew managed to scale 

the rigging, clamber onto a cliff 

face and climb to safety. 

The castaways defied starvation 

before being rescued that 

November after surviving on 

12,000 mollyhawk chicks, seals, 

plant roots and seaweed. 

“It’s a great story, the rescue 

and how they came to survive,” 

said Milne, who was asked to 

recreate Dundonald’s imminent 

demise by a Department of 

Conservation employee tasked 

with monitoring bird life on 

Auckland Island. 

Milne also delved into the 

exploits of Felix Graf von 

Luckner’s exploits, captain of the 

German raider SMS Seeadler 

during World War 1. 

Known as Der Seeteufel (Sea 

Devil), von Luckner oversaw 

the sinking of 14 Allied ships in 

the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans 

before he was arrested in Fiji and 

sent to prisoner of war camps in 

Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour 

and Ripapa Island off Lyttelton. 

Von Luckner prided himself 

on the bloodness nature of his 

operations, with only one enemy 

sailor perishing during his raids. 

“He was quite a gentleman, 

he’d take them all off the ship 

and then he’d sink it,” Milne said. 

President Kennedy, a PT boat 

captain in the Pacific during 

HISTORIC HOBBY: Milne ponders the history of the vessels 

he depicts, and what sailors endured, when he works 

on scrimshaw. 

World War 2, also appreciated 

the historical aspect of 

scrimshaw, resurrecting interest 

in the art when he placed the 

best of his collection on his desk 

inside the Oval Office. 

After Kennedy was shot dead 

in 1963 his widow Jacqueline 

reportedly slipped a treasured 

piece into his coffin prior to 

internment at Arlington National 

Cemetery. 

“JFK kicked off the popularity,” 

said Milne, who laments 

curiosity has now waned. 

There are still modern-day 

scrimshanders active in Lahaina, 

on the Hawaiian island of Maui. 

There is also a community in San 

Francisco. 

However, once CITES 

was introduced in the USA, 

scrimshaw could not be legally 

transferred interstate. 

“I don’t see a big future in 

it,” said Milne, citing another 

disadvantage. 

“I don’t think it’ll carry on 

in this form because when the 

ivory’s gone, it’s gone.”

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

The legacy of Edward Morey, builder 

of churches, schools and bridges 

WHO WAS Edward Morey? He 

certainly made his mark – with 

most of his well designed and 

built structures still standing, 

despite the earthquakes – and 

added to the colourful history 

around Banks Peninsula. 

Edward William Morey was 

born in Havant, Hampshire, 

England on April 8, 1822. On 

September 13, 1841 he married 

Charlotte King in Alverstoke, 

Hampshire. On October 

12, 1858, Edward, aged 35, 

Charlotte, 34, and their three 

daughters aged 12, eight and 18 

months, boarded the ship Strathalan 

bound for New Zealand. 

They were assisted immigrants, 

the total fare being £59, 10s 

(NZ$18,500). They arrived in 

Lyttelton on January 21, 1859. 

Edward was a trained stonemason 

and bricklayer, as was his 

father Henry Morey. 

Prior to their arrival in Lyttelton, 

plans for a new stone Anglican 

church had been drawn up 

by surveyor and architect George 

Mallinson, after the unfortunate 

demise of the first timber Anglican 

church. Built in 1852, it 

soon had to be demolished after 

the freshly milled native timbers 

used in its construction shrank, 

making it too dangerous to occupy 

in the strong southerly and 

nor’west winds. 

Along comes Mr 

Morey. Did he know 

about the planned 

new church 

before he left 

England? Was 

that why 

he came to 

Lyttelton? 

You would 

think that 

the news of 

the fate of 

the original 

church would 

have been 

talked about by 

church builders 

back in England, 

especially considering 

that William Chaney, a well 

respected English stonemason 

who spent 18 years restoring 

Canterbury Cathedral before 

coming to New Zealand, was 

involved in the first church’s 

construction. There is, however, 

no mention of this being a 

possibility anywhere in the 

Morey family history. 

Morey submitted a quote to 

build the new church, which the 

Anglican diocese accepted. The 

tender was let to him on April 

11, 1859 for £3,320 (NZ$1 

million). The new 

church was situated 

further to the east 

than the former, 

in order that the 

whole building 

rested level on 

solid ground, 

with the 

foundation 

stone being 

laid on June 

26, 1859. The 

building was

Morey. PHOTO:

COLLECTION 

constructed of red porphyry 

(volcanic) stone from the 

Sumner Rd quarry, with 

finishing sandstone from Quail 

Island and a shingled roof. The 

new Church of the Most Holy 

Trinity was consecrated on April 

10, 1860; it had taken just 11 

months to build. 

Interestingly, as stated in the 

Lyttelton Times article on the 

consecration on 11 April 1860: 

“A great portion of the interior 

timber used had been taken 

from the materials of the former 

Church and is therefore well 

seasoned.” 

An excerpt from the same 

article reads: 

“It is due to Mr Morey to say 

that he has kept more than good 

faith with the parish, and has left 

a record of excellent workmanship, 

done in a short space in 

time, in a business like way, and 

with a conscientious liberality, 

which should teach a practical 

lesson to the whole building 

trade in the province.” 

Unfortunately, this beautiful 

church became a victim of 

the 2010/2011 Canterbury 

Earthquake Sequence, but not 

its historic fittings and fixtures.

J.E. FitzGerald, of the first Church of England in 

Lyttelton, December 1852. Above – Second Holy 

Trinity Church, pre 1900. 

Thanks to some dedicated local 

people, those irreplaceable treasures 

were saved and reinstated 

into St Saviours at Holy Trinity, 

which is another story to be told. 

Although Morey built the 

new Anglican church, he was 

actually an active member 

of the Wesleyan church in 

Lyttelton, volunteering his 

time to make improvements to 

that denomination’s buildings 

to accommodate its rapidly 

increasing congregation. He 

lived in Lyttelton for four years, 

from 1859 to 1862. During that 

time he delved into the property 

market, purchasing and leasing 

sections and building houses on 

Jacksons, Selwyn and Hawkhurst 

Rds, as well as Oxford St. 

Morey also successfully 

tendered for and built brick

REF 14625.21 AND 7823.1 

culverts across London and 

Winchester streets. He built a 

new hall for the Loyal City of 

Norwich Lodge No. 4356, of the 

Manchester Unity Independent 

Order of Oddfellows, in St 

Davids St for the bargain price 

of £245 (NZ$75,000), as he 

was a brother and secretary of 

the order. He unsuccessfully 

tendered to build the Lyttelton 

Gaol (November 16, 1860) and 

the beacon on Adderley Head 

(May 7, 1861). He regularly ran 

an advertisement in the Lyttelton 

Times stating: 

“EW Morey, mason, builder 

and contractor – Tombs and 

headstones neatly executed.”

guest writer Carl Bonniface, a 

descendant of Edward Morey.

Tucson ‘not just show with plenty of go’ 

ADDING PLUG-IN hybrid 

technology means one of 

Hyundai’s best-selling SUVs 

the mid-sized Tucson, is just a 

step removed from taking the 

inevitable full electrification 

plunge. 

With its bold looks, digital capabilities, 

and upgraded ride and 

handling, Hyundai expects this 

Tucson to add significantly to the 

over 7 million sold globally since 

the original model was launched 

19 years ago. 

For our market, the Tucson 

is only sold in short-wheel base 

form, while its cousin the Kia 

Sportage rides on a long-wheel 

base. Unlike the Tucson, the 

Sportage isn’t available here in 

hybrid form. 

The Tucson hybrid comes in 

2WD and AWD forms with the 

plug-in model exclusively AWD, 

and road tested here in top spec 

Elite guise. The AWD system is 

also found in its larger sibling, 

the ever-popular Santa Fe. Power 

is distributed to the front and 

rear wheels depending on traction 

conditions, while the terrain 

mode selector maximises power, 

torque and braking depending on 

the conditions you’re driving in. 

The Tucson plug-in hybrid isn’t 

cheap compared to many of its 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

rivals with the entry-level version 

retailing for $83,990, with a $5k 

premium on the more lavishly 

attired Elite. 

A high tempo 195kW plug-in 

hybrid power train is strong 

and feisty with acceleration that 

bristles with sporty intent. It’s 

not just show with plenty of go. 

A rich vein of torque and the 

extra kick of the fully charged 

battery pack ensures punchy 

take-offs from standing starts, 

and purposeful pulling power for 

most driving situations. These 

attributes make light work of undulating 

roads and long energy 

draining up hill grinds. 

The plug-in has an all electric-only 

range of up to 65km, 

similar to several rivals, including 

the Mitsubishi Eclipse and 

Ford Escape. Both pack a much 

lighter performance punch than 

the heavy hitting Tucson PHEV’s 

195kW. The claimed 65km all 

electric range is fairly bullish. 

However, the real world every 

day driving figure is the one that 

really counts and hinges on a lot 

of variables. 

Topping the list is whether 

you’re an aggressive driver, 

constantly running accessories 

such as the air conditioning, or 

travelling on flat or hilly terrain. 

Owners should be prepared for 

an all-electric range of up to 

15km less than the claimed 65km 

figure. 

In other news from the claims 

department, this time fuel economy, 

the test car was disappointing. 

I knocked off a 500km roadie 

in it with four adults on board, 

on a trip covering some sections 

of hilly driving, and averaged 

7.3L/100km. That number is well 

north of the claimed 1.5L/100km. 

This might doable in low speed 

town driving when the car can 

spend extended periods in EV 

mode, but well out of reach on 

open road romps.

Overall points 

out of 10: 7.5 

EVs on Hyundai New Zealand’s 

books is a smart rework of the 

company’s proven 7-speed automatic. 

The test vehicle turned in 

an almost flawless gear-changing 

exhibition. One of the highlights 

was the transmission’s happy 

knack of knowing what gear it 

needed, showcasing the undoubted 

talents of this excellent power 

train. 

For a compact SUV front and 

rear legroom is adequate rather 

than generously provisioned. I 

found the rear door openings too 

narrow to easily navigate bulker 

items through like a child car 

seat. The rear cargo hatch does 

the job, but isn’t helped by the 

batteries being stored under the 

floor, raising its elevation and 

restricting load height. 

SUV buyers demand top rate 

connectivity in their vehicles 

these days and the Tucson has 

that well covered with some of 

the best in class digital tech. 

Hyundai’s digital key is a great 

‘for instance’ turning your 

smartphone, into a smart key. It’s 

not a one trick pony either, allowing 

you to lock and unlock the 

vehicle, activate the panic alert 

and start the motor from over 

25m away. (Not sure why you 

would want to do the latter, other 

than showing off to mates in the 

golf club car park.) 

A full-touch display houses the 

navigation system, air conditioning 

and infotainment controls. 

This offers split-screen functionality 

that enables multi-tasking. 

It was easy to master the basics 

without turning you into an 

instant expert. 

The Tucson hybrid range is 

fitted with a comprehensive suite 

of safety features. On boarded are 

most of the safety essentials such 

as lane keeping assist, forward 

collision avoidance, blind-spot 

collision avoidance, and smart 

cruise control. 

A potential life safer when 

the vehicle is stationary is safe 

exit assist. It reduces the risk of 

people getting out of the vehicle 

and stepping into the path of an 

approaching vehicle they couldn’t 

see. It does this by sounding an 

alarm warning you of the impending 

danger. 

The suspension is sportier than 

many hybrids with its nimble and 

playful character, and composed 

in managing sudden deviations 

in the road surface. 

No complaints about passenger 

comfort that’s largely free of the 

choppy listless ride traits of some 

short wheelbase SUVs. 

Little in the way of suspension 

noise penetrates the passenger 

compartment, even under severe 

provocation from sub-standard 

roads. Well weighted, communicative 

steering responds quickly 

to the driver inputs and allows 

you to accurately and effortlessly 

place the vehicle where you want 

it on the road. This vehicle puts 

fun with a capital ‘F’ into the sub 

$90k plug-in hybrid class.
