Close brush with death<br />
but Tony will be back<br />
• By Dylan Smits and<br />
Katie Oliver<br />
TONY SCHAFER is counting<br />
down the days until he can<br />
get back out into the surf<br />
after nearly drowning while<br />
suffering a heart attack.<br />
The renowned Sumner surfer<br />
was rescued while surfing at<br />
Scarborough.<br />
Nearly two weeks on,<br />
he has spoken to <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News about<br />
the rescue and his<br />
recovery.<br />
The 54-year-old is<br />
taking it easy at home<br />
for a six-week recovery<br />
period, but hopes to be<br />
Tony<br />
Schafer<br />
back in the surf before<br />
too long.<br />
“You get bucked off<br />
a horse you got to get<br />
straight back on, so<br />
if I’m feeling up to it<br />
I’ll be totally keen to<br />
get back into the<br />
water.”<br />
Schafer was pulled<br />
out by friends on the beach and<br />
Learn to Surf participants, who<br />
noticed him drowning after<br />
falling from his board.<br />
“I just remember thinking to<br />
myself, I can’t be here, I can’t<br />
be on the bottom. I have to try<br />
and get to the surface,” said<br />
Schafer.<br />
His rescuers performed CPR<br />
and used a nearby defibrillator<br />
within five minutes of the heart<br />
attack, before he was rushed to<br />
hospital.<br />
“I feel like I’ve been kicked<br />
by a horse. The CPR was done<br />
right, so my chest is still a bit<br />
bruised, but I think it’s a good<br />
pain.”<br />

New bus route unlikely due<br />
to uncertainty over funding<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A LONG requested bus for<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> is looking doubtful<br />
as Environment Canterbury reels<br />
in ambitions for route extensions.<br />
For many years, residents have<br />
been wanting public transport<br />
access to the bay through Dyers<br />
Pass Rd and some hoped a new<br />
bus route would<br />
be included in<br />
ECan’s Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
Christchurch<br />
South councillor<br />
Vicky Southworth<br />
believes<br />
the Government<br />
is unlikely to<br />
allocate enough<br />
Vicky<br />
Southworth<br />
public transport funding for a<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> extension to go<br />
ahead.<br />
“This time it’s probably unlikely.<br />
Not least because we haven’t<br />
got confirmation from the<br />
Government as to what funding<br />
they’ll put in,” Southworth said.<br />
Fifteen per cent of Canterbury’s<br />
public transport is funded by<br />
fares, with remaining costs split<br />
evenly between ECan and the NZ<br />
Transport Agency.<br />

ACCESS: Governors <strong>Bay</strong> residents have been lobbying for<br />
the creation of a bus route extension for many years.<br />
plan in late June and NZTA will<br />
not disclose funding availability<br />
for network extensions until<br />
September.<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Community Association<br />
chair John Bannock was<br />
unsurprised by the route’s likely<br />
absence from the Long Term Plan.<br />
“From Governors <strong>Bay</strong>’s perspective,<br />
they’d be struggling to be less<br />
ambitious than they already have<br />
been.”<br />

Bannock questioned whether<br />
the potential lack of funding from<br />
NZTA was a legitimate excuse.<br />
“It’s a convenient story to tell at<br />
the moment, in spite of a lack of<br />
action in the past.”<br />
Southworth expressed support<br />
for a Governors <strong>Bay</strong> route, but said<br />
the regional council will likely prioritise<br />
other network extensions.<br />

The other Christchurch South<br />
councillor, Paul Dietsche said<br />
more investigation was needed on<br />
the proposed route and did not<br />
wish to comment further.<br />
Ngāi Tahu councillor Nuk Korako,<br />
who is affiliated with Rāpaki<br />
Marae, did not respond to request<br />
for comment.<br />
An ECan spokesperson said<br />
there are no figures available for<br />
the potential cost of a Governors<br />

During public feedback on<br />
the ECan draft Long Term Plan,<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty Trust chair<br />

extending the route to the bay.<br />
Miller understands a lack of<br />
funding may present a barrier for<br />
ECan this year, but hopes it will be<br />
included in the next plan review.<br />
“It is very disappointing because<br />
we’ve been living in hope for<br />
many years.”<br />

LYTTELTON Community House<br />
has received $5000 from the<br />
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board to<br />
subsidise wages for a new support<br />

As the only social services<br />

improve its service.<br />
Having two employees would<br />

Dump site to be cleared after long wait<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
AN EMPTY section in Mt<br />
Pleasant is finally being cleaned<br />
up after eight years of complaints<br />
to the city council fell on deaf ears.<br />
The city council-owned 1001<br />
sq-m section in Virginia Lane has<br />
been an illegal dumping ground<br />
for years; residents complaints go<br />
back to 2016.<br />
Said long time resident Jo<br />
Doherty: “So many neighbours,<br />
past and present, have flagged this<br />
up with council, that there’s been<br />
dumping going on but nothing<br />
has been done for years.”<br />
Doherty said she had routinely<br />
told the city council as far back<br />
as 2016 of a particular person she<br />
had seen dumping materials. That<br />
person had continued to dump<br />
rubbish over the years.<br />
She said the city council’s response<br />
to her complaints was not<br />
good enough.<br />
“It’s really disappointing. You<br />
just start lose faith in people<br />
(council staff),” she said.<br />
Doherty complained again in<br />
February, and the council started<br />
the long awaited clean-up <strong>15</strong> days<br />
ago. The section will be clear by<br />
Friday.<br />
The person Doherty had been<br />
complaining about was trespassed<br />
by the city council on Thursday.<br />
But the man told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News he considered it unfair he<br />
had been the only one targeted.<br />
NO-GO: City council staff blocked off the entrance to 8 Virginia Lane on <strong>May</strong> 2 in an effort<br />
to prevent any further dumping on the section. Nearby residents have been complaining<br />
to the city council since 2016 to clean up the area.<br />
“There’s a number of people<br />
who used the property for<br />
different things – storing boats,<br />
materials same as me. I did<br />
probably have more stuff on it<br />
but I had an agreement with the<br />
original owner,” he said.<br />
City council head of city growth<br />
and property Bruce Rendall<br />
would not provide an explanation<br />
to <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News as to why it<br />
had taken eight years.<br />
He said staff had not looked<br />
back into records to verify if<br />
the resident’s comments about<br />
how long<br />
they had been<br />
complaining<br />
were “accurate”.<br />
“We have not<br />
undertaken a<br />
review of the history<br />
and neighbours<br />
claims so Bruce<br />
are unable to Rendall<br />
comment on the accuracy of this<br />
and the circumstances,” he said.<br />
Staff were “focused on moving<br />
forward positively and rectifying<br />
the issues’’.<br />
Doherty said concrete, polystyrene,<br />
general waste, building<br />
tools, wood, steel and chemicals<br />
have been dumped on the section<br />
since the original house was<br />
demolished, creating an eyesore<br />
and environmental threat to the<br />
nearby Glenstrae Stream.<br />
“We live in such a beautiful<br />
area, I just can’t believe this has<br />
kept happening for so long.”<br />
Rendall said investigations since<br />
September had to led to multiple<br />
people being suspected of illegal<br />
dumping.<br />
HAZARD: This photo from<br />
September shows the types<br />
of building materials and<br />
chemicals which have been<br />
left at the site. These items<br />
have now been removed.<br />
He said the rubbish clean up<br />
will cost $6300 in total with an<br />
additional $2200 for further vegetation<br />
work on the site.<br />
“If anything in particular is<br />
removed and disposed of that can<br />
be attributed to an individual,<br />
then that cost will be passed on.”<br />
He said the city council is<br />
avoiding prosecutions over the<br />
dumping because of the high<br />
evidence threshold needed.<br />
“The council is confident<br />
removal of the material can be<br />
undertaken at less cost to the ratepayers<br />
than the court process.”<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 2, city council staff<br />
blocked access to the section with<br />
a concrete bollard to prevent any<br />
further dumping.<br />

DRONE TESTING is<br />
continuing at Coastguard<br />
Sumner in an effort to innovate<br />
search and rescue operations.<br />
The coastguard has teamed<br />
up with drone expert Daniel<br />
Manchester from construction<br />
company Proform Group<br />
and Canterbury Air Patrol to<br />
evaluate how eight different<br />
unmanned aircrafts could best<br />
assist real life rescue scenarios.<br />
“Sumner<br />
coastguard is<br />
committed to<br />
looking at new<br />
technology<br />
and new<br />
methods that<br />
are appearing,<br />
which can help Anthony<br />
us save lives,” Honeybone<br />
said search<br />
and rescue manager Anthony<br />
Honeybone.<br />
Two weeks ago, Manchester<br />
was flying the drones across<br />
Scarborough, creating 3D maps<br />
of the terrain and spotting<br />
coastguard members on the<br />
rocks who posed as victims.<br />
Manchester and Honeybone<br />
joined coastguard and air patrol<br />
members for further testing<br />
of the drone’s effectiveness on<br />
Tuesday night.<br />
“It’s not our normal area<br />
of knowledge. You know, as<br />
a coastguard we know boats.<br />
We’re learning from their expertise<br />
in Canterbury Air Patrol,”<br />
said Honeybone.<br />
He hopes the coastguard<br />
will have trained six operators<br />

Coastguard tests drones<br />
to assist with rescues<br />
MAPPING: The drones are creating a 3D model of the<br />
Scarborough coastline, which could assist in future search<br />
and rescue operations if the drone programme goes<br />
ahead. <br />
and successfully launched the<br />
drone programme in the next 12<br />
months.<br />
They will need to become<br />
qualified with the Civil Aviation<br />
Authority.<br />
Using drones to find victims<br />
has major potential advantages<br />
over in-person search operations.<br />
“It has thermal imaging,<br />
which picks up people’s heat<br />
source. It’s just a massive advantage<br />
in terms of finding someone<br />
quickly,” said Honeybone.<br />
The speed in which drones<br />
can find a target compared to<br />
searching in a boat is significant.<br />
“The success rate in finding<br />
someone alive is often in speed.<br />
They might have hypothermia,<br />
so the speed of rescue is really<br />
critical for us,” he said.<br />
The trials over the coming<br />
months will determine whether<br />
the terrain in Coastguard<br />
Sumner’s jurisdiction is suitable<br />
for investing in a drone programme.<br />
“Right now we’re seeing if<br />
we’ve got all our ducks in a row<br />
and if this is something we 100<br />
per cent want to dedicate ourselves<br />
to,” said Honeybone.<br />
He said a drone programme<br />
could be expensive and require<br />
contributions from the coastguard’s<br />
typical funding sources,<br />
such as Coastguard New Zealand.<br />
The idea for drone testing<br />
came from a joint meeting with<br />
Coastguard Canterbury last<br />
year, which discussed potential<br />
technological innovations for<br />
search and rescue.<br />

Pathway a thriving hub<br />

Group updates<br />
readers on the<br />
project<br />
SINCE THE unveiling of the base<br />
pathway late last year, the Coastal<br />
Pathway has blossomed into a<br />
vibrant hub, attracting a diverse<br />
range of users.<br />
This is especially true on Saturday<br />
mornings. The pathway pulses<br />
with energy as at least two running<br />
communities take advantage of its<br />
picturesque 4-metre-wide surface.<br />
Parkrun is a free, weekly 5km<br />
event that kicks off at 8am every<br />
Saturday, inviting participants to<br />
walk, jog, or run the course at their<br />
own pace.<br />
The Scarborough location is a<br />
gem among the 46 Parkrun sites<br />
in New Zealand and thousands<br />
worldwide.<br />
Parkrun starts and finishes at the<br />
Scarborough Fare Cafe with easy<br />
access to the cafe, public toilets,<br />
changing sheds and the number 3<br />
bus. The inaugural event attracted<br />
286 runners on April 13. Learn<br />

Mickey<br />
The cat who helped me through times of change<br />
by Helen Brown<br />
From the New York Times bestselling author of Cleo, a warm, wistful<br />
coming-of-age true story about the transition from childhood to<br />
adolescence, and the small stray cat who helped guide the way. It<br />
was 1966 and the times they were a-changing, even in the provincial<br />
New Zealand coastal town of New Plymouth. Skirts were getting<br />
shorter, the Vietnam War was on TV every night and French<br />
nuclear tests in the Pacific turned the night sky a violent<br />
red. Twelve-year-old Helen, the youngest daughter of an<br />
eccentric engineer and a musical theatre fanatic, was living<br />
in a crumbling castle overrun by nature, and overshadowed<br />
by the majestic Mount Taranaki. On the eve of puberty,<br />
everything suddenly is uncomfortable and unfamiliar to<br />
Helen. She feels lonely and lost, adrift in this new turbulent sea.<br />
That is, until her father gifts her a tiger-striped kitten with extra toes<br />
on each paw. Noticing an M on the cat’s forehead, Helen names<br />
her new companion Mickey. Inquisitive, clever and skittish, Mickey<br />
disrupts the already rambunctious household with his mischief.<br />
But as it turns out, he’s just the ally Helen needs to explore the new<br />
world waking up around her.<br />
EVENT: The inaugural Parkrun event on April 13 attracted<br />

PROJECTS: Daly’s Wharf (above) and Drummonds jetty will<br />
undergo upgrades ahead of the Akaroa Wharf rebuild.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE <br />
Work to get under way<br />
ahead of wharf rebuild<br />
TWO WHARVES in Akaroa<br />
will be upgraded this winter.<br />
Drummonds jetty and Daly’s<br />
Wharf have been identified<br />
as suitable alternatives for the<br />
community to use while Akaroa<br />
Wharf undergoes a rebuild.<br />
A condition assessment<br />
carried out on Akaroa Wharf<br />
in late 2018 identified the<br />
structure was reaching the end<br />
of its useful life and on-going<br />
repair and maintenance was not<br />
economical.<br />
Construction of the new<br />
Akaroa Wharf is expected to<br />
begin in late 2025, following<br />
resource consent approval,<br />
and be completed in 2027. The<br />
resource consent will be publicly<br />
notified, with a public hearing<br />

will also undergo strengthening<br />
work, and a crane and diesel<br />
bowser will be temporarily<br />
installed.<br />
City council acting head of<br />
parks Rupert Bool said design<br />
work for the two smaller wharves<br />
is being finalised. The work is<br />
planned to begin in winter and<br />
will take about four months.<br />
“We’re excited to get this work<br />
under way in Akaroa and the<br />
community is looking forward<br />
to seeing this project move<br />
forward. Council would like to<br />
acknowledge the patience of the<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />
Mello Schenkel – unravelling the<br />
• By Carl Bonniface<br />
LITTLE IS known of Mello<br />
Schenkel’s early life except that<br />
he was born on December 5,<br />
1831 in Nes, Ameland, an island<br />
off the northern coast of the<br />
Netherlands, once a centre of the<br />
Dutch whaling industry.<br />
His father Roelof Melles<br />
Schenkel, who was a sea captain,<br />
died when Mello was eight years<br />
old. Roelof married three times<br />
and had 13 children, but five<br />
of those died young. Mello was<br />
the third child from the third<br />
marriage.<br />
In his teens, Mello went to sea<br />
as a ship’s boy, using the birth<br />
date of his younger brother, Jan<br />
Willem, born August 9, 1833,<br />
who had died in 1839, as Mello<br />
himself was too old to qualify as<br />
a ‘boy’.<br />
The next we hear of Mello<br />
is when he shows up in<br />
Whakaraupō Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
in early 1859, where he owned<br />
and commanded a ketch called<br />
“Industry”, registered in Port<br />
Lyttelton. It had been built by<br />
Brown Brothers in their boat<br />
building yard at Koukourarata<br />
Port Levy, which later moved to<br />
Motu-kauati-iti Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Ten years earlier, on<br />
November 8, 1849, Mr CE<br />
Captain Mello Schenkel was a notable Lyttelton identity.<br />
Dampier had arrived in<br />
Ōhinehou Lyttelton aboard<br />
the “Phoebe Dunbar”. He was<br />
PHOTO: CARL BONNIFACE<br />
solicitor for the Canterbury<br />
Association and was granted<br />
land by the Association’s<br />
founder Godley, at what would<br />
become Dampier <strong>Bay</strong> (now the<br />
Te Ana Marina development).<br />
In the late 1850s, Dampier<br />
decided to build a port and town<br />
to rival Kaiapoi, at Saltwater<br />
Creek, in order to be closer to<br />
the North Canterbury sheep<br />
stations and to take advantage of<br />
the booming wool export trade.<br />
He named it Northport.<br />
The only problem was<br />
negotiating the bar and the<br />
Ashley River mouth. Captain<br />
Schenkel was the first to do so<br />
aboard “Industry”.<br />
For his efforts he was given<br />
a quarter acre section at 38<br />
Industry Street (named after<br />
his ketch), Northport, for his<br />
“prompt and spirited conduct in<br />
opening up Saltwater Creek for<br />
navigation”.<br />
Northport was an ambitious<br />
project which sadly had<br />
limited financial success due to<br />
difficulties with accessibility.<br />
Unfortunately, on February<br />
3, 1868, disaster struck when<br />
an ex-tropical storm swept<br />
down New Zealand causing<br />
widespread damage.<br />
Many ships were destroyed<br />
and 40 lives were lost across<br />
the country. Several ships<br />
were wrecked in Whakaraupō<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>, including<br />
“Iona” and “Three Sisters”, both<br />
locally owned.<br />
Northport did not survive.<br />
By 1870 it was in ruins and<br />
Dampier returned to England,<br />
where he died a year later.<br />
Nothing remains today of the<br />
port or settlement aside from a<br />
plaque marking the site.<br />
Meanwhile, back in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton, Captain Schenkel<br />
married Myra Martha Morey,<br />
daughter of Edward Morey,<br />
on February 10, 1862 at the<br />
Wesleyan Church.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 13<br />
mystery of master mariner’s life<br />
They went on to have 11<br />
children, six of them born in<br />
Lyttelton, four in Akaroa and one<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
On October 16, 1862, Mello<br />
was proclaimed a New Zealand<br />
citizen by Governor Sir George<br />
Grey, who backdated it to<br />
January 1, 1861, so that by law<br />
Mello was a New Zealand citizen<br />
when he married Martha.<br />
Captain Schenkel owned<br />
or part-owned several ships<br />
along with “Industry”, which<br />
unfortunately met her demise:<br />
“After crossing the Sumner<br />
Bar on July 24, 1863 the ketch<br />
“Industry” struck on the South<br />
Spit and after a few minutes<br />
severe hammering, filled and<br />
sank. She became a total loss,”<br />
said CWN Ingram in the<br />
book New Zealand Shipwrecks<br />
1795 -1975.<br />
He was half owner of “Julia<br />
Ann” in 1862-1863, which had<br />
been registered in Lyttelton on<br />
18 August, 1860. He was sole<br />
owner of “Linnet” from 1867-<br />
1874, built by Brown Brothers at<br />
Port Levy in 1863 and registered<br />
at Lyttelton on July 13, 1863.<br />
“Linnet” met an undignified end<br />
when she was acquired by the<br />
Lyttelton Regatta Committee and<br />
blown up as a spectacle at the<br />
New Years Day Regatta in 1906.<br />
On October 27, 1868, in<br />
Captain Mello Schenkel’s ship Linnet was blown up as a spectacle to entertain the crowds<br />
at Lyttelton’s New Years Day Regatta in 1906.<br />
PHOTO: TE ŪAKA LYTTELTON MUSEUM REF 14985.102<br />
command of “Prince Alfred”,<br />
Captain Schenkel was involved<br />
in the rescue of the crew of the<br />
ketch “Crest”, which ended up<br />
in a cave on the rugged coast<br />
between Akaroa and Flea <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Unfortunately, her<br />
captain,William Ellis and one<br />
crew member were trapped in the<br />
cave overnight and were swept<br />
away.<br />
A tablet made by EW Morey<br />
(Schenkel’s father in law) in<br />
memory of Captain Ellis was<br />
placed in St Peter’s Church in<br />
Akaroa and still remains there.<br />
Sometime around 1889,<br />
Captain Schenkel retired from the<br />
sea and took up residence with<br />
his wife and family at North West<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> in Pelorus Sound.<br />
This move was prompted by<br />
the marriage of their daughter<br />
Alice in June 1885 to George<br />
Semple Johnson, a Pelorus<br />
Sound resident. This is where the<br />
mystery of this master mariner<br />
resurfaces.<br />
Rumours abound. One is that<br />
Captain Schenkel separated<br />
from his wife and went to live in<br />
Waitara, Taranaki, dying there in<br />
February 1896 and being buried<br />
in the Waitara Cemetery.<br />
However, there is no<br />
gravestone, cemetery records<br />
were destroyed, and no death<br />
certificate has ever been found.<br />
The mystery remains!<br />
Descendants of Captain Mello<br />
Schenkel still live in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton today, having been<br />
involved in the local community,<br />
working on the development of<br />
the harbour over the years, and<br />
promoting the history of the port<br />
town.<br />

Caring for the biggest mother of all<br />
A MAMMOTH effort was<br />
undertaken over the weekend to<br />
remove rubbish from the Avon-<br />
Heathcote Estuary and Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
More than 50 groups took part<br />
in the Mother of All Clean Ups,<br />
held annually on the Saturday<br />
before Mother’s Day.<br />
From 10am to noon, volunteers<br />
from schools, community groups<br />
and workplaces were busy<br />
chatting and picking up litter.<br />
The final weigh in was 2.06<br />
tons. Last year it was 2.37 tons.<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust manager Tanya Jenkins<br />
said the decrease showed an<br />
improvement in the amount<br />
of litter around Christchurch<br />
waterways.<br />
TEAM-BUILDING: Mitre10 Ferrymead staff after a successful collection at<br />
the estuary. <br />

AN EXPERT says the Sumner<br />
Esplanade rock retaining wall<br />
will need to be rebuilt.<br />
Otago University associate<br />
geography professor Mike Hilton<br />
said if the 1.2km seawall is not<br />
rebuilt within 10 years or so,<br />
there will be an<br />
increased risk of<br />
exposure to waves<br />
coming over the<br />
wall.<br />
Prof Hilton<br />
has examined a<br />
report on the wall<br />
from engineering<br />
consultant, Jacobs, which found<br />
there are 19 points along the wall<br />
where repairs are required.<br />
However, Prof Hilton<br />
said there is no immediate<br />
danger.<br />
“In the next few years, the<br />
storm surge on that coast is not<br />
particularly large. However,<br />
when you look beyond the<br />
short-term to the medium-term,<br />
those storms are going to get<br />
significantly larger and will have<br />
a greater impact because the sea<br />
level will be higher,” he said.<br />

Committee member Russell<br />
Dalzell said the intersection of<br />

“It’s a real bottleneck intersection.<br />

from the southern end to the<br />
northern end has to cross<br />
there,” he said.<br />
“There’s some speed signs<br />

company’s<br />
bid to<br />
introduce<br />
e-scooters<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
A LINCOLN-BASED company<br />
is taking on Lime to bring<br />
e-scooters to Selwyn.<br />
Angela and Phillip Eberhard<br />
have recently started a business<br />
named Lava Scooters.<br />
They have applied to the<br />
district council to operate 50<br />
e-scooters from 7-11am, seven<br />
days a week in Rolleston, Lincoln<br />
and Prebbleton. The application<br />
includes the possibility of<br />
expanding to 200 scooters in the<br />
future if successful and allowed.<br />
Mrs Eberhard said they are<br />
excited to be entering the<br />
market.<br />
“Being local and knowing<br />
this community and wanting to<br />
be a part of that is exciting,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Lime is big and that’s probably<br />
more of a risk for us but I think<br />
working and living in this area<br />
makes it more enjoyable and we’re<br />
just hoping the community will<br />
get behind us.”<br />
There are some safety features<br />
that se them apart from Lime,<br />
Mrs Eberhard said.<br />
