He’s 55 

and just 

played 

his 

500th 

game 

• By Sam Coughlan 

ROBBIE TIMO is at an age 

where he should be relaxing on 

the sidelines, watching others 

get battered and bruised. 

But the 55-year-old’s 

dedication to rugby and 

enduring fitness sees him 

continue to battle it out on the 

field against opponents decades 

younger than himself. 

On Saturday the 55-yearold 

prop notched a unique 

milestone when he ran out for 

Sumner’s division 2 side in their 

31-20 win over University of 

Canterbury – his 500th senior 

appearance for the club. 

He said it was a special 

moment. 

“I never thought it would

happen. I just enjoy the club, 

the atmosphere, giving back to 

the community. It’s been a big 

journey seeing the club grow 

and evolve. It’s good to be a part 

of it.”

Confusing 

roadworks 

information 

sees new 

idea floated 

• By Dylan Smits 

A NEW system for giving 

the public advance notice of 

roadworks closures in Banks 

Peninsula has been floated, as a 

result of recent confusion. 

In the past three months, there 

have been three maintenance 

roadworks closures on Governors 

Bay Rd, one in March and two in 

May. 

Governors Bay Community 

Association chair John Bannock 

said residents have been confused 

by conflicting information 

displayed on the city council 

website and roadside signage. 

“They’re very rarely saying the 

same thing. So that’s set up an air 

of confusion straight away.” 

Bannock has suggested putting 

city council staff in charge of 

communications during maintenance 

on critical routes, like 

Governors Bay Rd. 

Currently, when there are major 

roadworks, city council staff are 

in charge of communicating with 

the public. When there 

are maintenance works, 

contractors are in charge of 

communications.

The Tuscan Daughter 

by Tessa Harris 

A country at war. An impossible choice. A woman who will risk 

everything to be free. Tuscany, 1942: having moved from England 

to the beautiful city of Lucca before the outbreak of war, Lizzie 

Thornton adores her job as tutor to eight-year-old Cristo – 

despite the fact that his father, Count Antonio de Falco, is 

a notable fascist and supporter of Mussolini. Then war is 

declared, and Lizzie is suddenly regarded as an enemy in the 

country she loves so much. When new tutor Vincenzo Baldini 

arrives, Lizzie is exposed to a new secret world; Vincenzo is actually 

a member of the Italian resistance, running an anti-fascist propaganda 

magazine. Lizzie, desperate to be part of the fight, joins Vincenzo’s unit, 

and soon she is head over heels in love. But when someone from her past 

reappears and threatens to overturn her new life, Lizzie must decide if she has 

the strength to fight for what, and who, she truly wants. Based on true events, 

The Tuscan Daughter is a heartbreaking story of one woman’s resilience in the 

face of fascism, perfect for fans of Mandy Robotham and Kate Quinn. 

and will be on hand to share top tips 

and advice and answer any questions. 

Event manager Juliet Dickson says 

the Home & Leisure Show is the “go 

to place to see the latest trends and 

innovations for your home and enjoy 

show-only specials” as well as getting 

the chance to see brand-new exhibitors.

Astrochimp 

From the #1 Bestselling Author of Gangsta Granny 

and Spaceboy! 

by David Walliams, Adam Stower 

From million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes a laugh-out-loud 

animal space adventure. 

Chump the chimpanzee was always being silly. 

He would: - make rude noises from BOTH ENDS… 

- pick his nose with his little toe… 

- eat the skins of bananas, hurling out the tasty part inside. 

NASA’s scientists thought he’d be the PERFECT chimp to send into space. 

Little did Chump know that he had been selected for a deadly-dangerous 

mission. If a chimp could orbit Earth, then chances were a human could too. 

With Chump the chimp at the controls of a spacecraft, what could possibly go 

wrong? As it turned out, EVERYTHING. 

Blast off with Chump, and encounter dog space pirates, evil insects, and 

the silliest chimpanzee who ever lived in this wildly funny space opera, fully 

illustrated in fantastic colour.

Wednesday June 19 2024 Bay Harbour News 

• From page 1 

Bannock believes city council 

staff with a better knowledge 

of affected communities’ needs 

should deliver communications 

on these routes, rather than 

contractors. 

“I don’t think a contractor 

working out of Lyttelton would 

consider that Diamond Harbour 

and Port Levy would be affected 

parties,” Bannock said. 

He said having the contractor 

communicating road closures for 

maintenance work gave them too 

much workload. 

However, city council head of 

transport Lynette Ellis said her 

team has “full confidence” in 

contractors’ abilities to deliver 

effective communications to 

residents. 

She said the Governors Bay 

resurfacing work in May “was no 

exception”. 

“Our maintenance contractors 

work on approximately 2415 

projects a year across the entire 

network, therefore if council is to 

manage all communications for 

this work we need to rely on our 

contractor teams.” 

Ellis declined to comment 

on the merits of giving council 

staff responsibility over 

communications for critical 

routes only. 

Bannock feels the transport 

team is missing his point. 

“I think it’s unreasonable to 

expect contractors to determine 

the extent of contacts required 

for some roads.” 

He voiced his concerns at the 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

meeting on June 10. 

“I really think that the council 

needs to understand that the 

Banks Peninsula area isn’t a 

town. We don’t have multiple 

detour options.” 

The community board 

requested staff advice regarding 

community notifications. 

Bannock hopes the community 

board investigation process 

will change the minds of the 

transport team. 

He also said communications 

through more channels would 

help the affected residents better 

adapt their personal schedules. 

“Even a poster in the typical 

places people visit would be a big 

help.” 

Banks Peninsula city councillor 

Tyrone Fields did not have a view 

on Bannock’s idea, but believed 

staff would find a solution.

Mid-winter plunge all for a good cause 


A DARING group jumped into 

the wintry water of Governors 

Bay to help pay for its jetty 

restoration. 

Sunday’s relatively warm 

weather was encouraging for the 

45 jumpers who raised $2077 for 

the cause. 

Jetty Trust secretary Louisa 

Eades is pleased the mid-winter 

jetty jump and swim met its 

funding goal. 

“There was a lot of whooping 

and excitement when people got 

out of the water. It feels really 

good to get in the water and get 


THERE ARE growing efforts 

to preserve and restore the 

Diamond Harbour gullies, as 

the surrounding land opens for 

development. 

The three gullies sit on the 

39.02 ha block of city council 

land, which recently had two 

other sections sold for a Māori 

immersion school and fire 

station. 

On Sunday, more volunteers 

are wanted for a planting day at 

the school gully. 

out again,” she said. 

Some participants showed 

their enthusiasm by jumping in 

multiple times. 

“We were really lucky with the 

weather. The sun came out and 

it was actually a really beautiful 

day,” Eades said. 

Members from the Canterbury 

Open Water Swimming Association 

also swam to the buoy in the 

bay after their jump. 

Eades and Jetty Trust chair 

Prue Miller also had a go, 

jumping off the jetty dressed as 

Superwoman. 

“It was actually nowhere near 

as bad as I thought,” said Eades. 

More volunteers wanted for gully planting day

them all the time. We’ve always 

got pretty good turnouts for the

Volunteers were able to plant

After the jump, participants 

were treated to a well-earned 

sausage sizzle with hot drinks 

while they dried off. 

The jetty trust has $465,000 

left to pay on its loan from the 

city council, which helped fund 

the rebuild. 

If the city council includes 

funding for the jetty in its final 

Long Term Plan, the loan will 

decrease to $240,000. 

• Donations can be made 

to support the jetty rebuild 

until June 30 at https://

and plan to surpass that with 

2000 plantings in 2024. 

Since the 1980s, changing attitudes 

among residents have led 

to an increase in conservation 

efforts and an appreciation of the 

gullies’ natural beauty. 

Also the chair of the Diamond 

Harbour reserves committee, 

Fraser says the group has 

the goal of creating a natural 

landmark for residents and 

visitors. 

Residents were consulted 

by the city council in 2021 on 

whether sections of the land 

block should be sold, and protecting 

the gullies was the most 

common topic raised. 

“People have different ideas 

about the development of the 

land, but everyone was saying 

they want the gullies protected.” 

The final conservation status 

of the gullies has not yet been 

determined, with options 

including designating them 

as a city council conservation 

covenant, or official reserve area. 

Once the land sales for 

immersion school Te Pā o

are finalised, the gullies will 

receive a new status. 

Te Pā did not respond to 

requests for comment, but in its 

proposal report for purchasing 

the section, the school agreed 

with “protection and enhancement” 

for the gullies. 

Fraser believes the city council 

and Te Pā will work to protect 

the gullies in the future. 

The mostly barren school gully 

is now the focus for planting 

after Sam’s gully and Morgan’s 

gully received attention in the 

past.

Timo taking a step back after celebrating 


How many actual open grade 

games Timo has played is 

unknown. 

Before joining Sumner in 

1994, he played senior rugby for 

four years for Albion and New 

Brighton – but he has no idea 

how many games he played for 

those clubs. 

Timo, a schoolteacher at Te 

Aratai College in Linwood, 

said he received a lot of well 

wishes before the game on 

Saturday. 

“There were heaps of 

messages on Facebook 

and once I posted 

a few more photos 

afterwards there was 

more photos and things 

and comments, 

which was 

awesome.” 

That included a phone call 

from All Blacks coach Scott 

‘Razor’ Robertson – a proud 

Sumner man who played with 

Timo in his early days with the 

club. 

“He called me up just before 

lunch and wished me all the best, 

which was good,” said Timo. 

Robertson’s son Cass was 

alongside Timo in the 

Sumner team – one 

of many father/son 

combinations he’s 

played with or 

against. 

“Guys I used to 

play with, their 

kids are playing 

now, or I’ve been 

coaching them,” he 

said. 

“Or they’re 

making 

their 

senior debuts for other clubs 

and things, sometimes it is 

weird, they’ll tell me ‘my dad’s 

watching’.” 

With a big crowd down at 

St Leonard’s Square for the 

occasion, Timo said it was good 

to have their backing. 

“It was quite a big crowd. 

Sometimes they get that many at 

club day, but that was good. 

Age is unfortunately catching 

up with the prop. This will be his 

last competitive season. 

“I think I’ll just slowly taper 

off, just keep contributing to the 

team and still help those players 

progress and make sure they’re 

doing what they should be doing. 

“I’ll just offer as much as I can 

with them and finish the year off 

and then that’ll be me. 

“It’s going to be real tough, I’ve 

been going there for so long, I’ve 

played so many games now. But 

I’ll still be able to contribute to 

the club, help the coaches and 

especially the juniors.” 

But if he got a call on a Saturday 

morning asking him to fill in? 

“Head right to my boots and 

head on down!” 

Never say never. 

GOOD TIMES: Timo flanked by team-mates Greg Digby 

(left) and Danny Tarres following a match.

LEGEND: Sumner veteran 

Robbie Timo played his 

500th game for the club at

Rediscovering history: Ancestors’ 

History often forgets the earliest marriages between Māori women and pākehā men and 

the cross-cultural exchanges which shaped colonial life on Banks Peninsula. 

Reporter Dylan Smits spoke with Georgia Hampton, a descendent of one of these marriages 

about her dissertation discussing the misconceptions New Zealanders today have about 

these unions 

GEORGIA HAMPTON is the 

fourth great-granddaughter of Ngāi 

Tahu noblewoman Hari Tiki and 

American whaler Seth Howland. 

The 23-year-old’s paternal 

grandmother Heather is particularly 

interested in genealogy and spent 

time about 20 years ago researching 

Tiki and trying to find her still 

unknown resting place. 

“I remember her showing me 

pictures. We’d work on ancestry. 

com together, so it’s always been a 

bit of a family project,” she said. 

The research sparked the 23-yearold’s 

interest in history and her Ngāi 

Tahu roots. 

“My dad got really interested by 

this stuff. It probably made him 

want to do a history degree.” 

Helping to dispel myths about her 

ancestors and the common Māori 

and pākehā marriages in the 19th 

century is a passion for the history 

buff, who now works researching 

items in the Canterbury Museum 

collection. 

Tiki is believed to have been 

born into a high-status family at 

Waikākahi pā in 1816. 

It was a community of many Ngāi 

Tahu hapū near Birdlings Flat. 

TRAVELLER: Seth Howland 

was a whaler who lived in 

Māori communities on Banks 

Peninsula in the first half of 

the 19th century. During the 

attacks by Ngāti Toa on Ngāi 

Tahu in 1830, Howland is 

believed to have assisted Ngāti 

Toa chief Te Rauparaha during 

an assault on Akaroa Harbour. 

Hare Tiki was captured and is 

believed to have been gifted 

to Howland as a reward. There 

is no known photo of Tiki. 

During the attacks by Ngāti Toa 

on Ngāi Tahu in 1830, Tiki was 

captured in Akaroa Harbour by 

Ngāti Toa chief Te Rauparaha. 

Seth Howland likely had a close 

relationship with Ngāti Toa chief Te 

Rauparaha, due to him providing 

transport for war parties attacking 

Ngāi Tahu. 

This close relationship may have 

led to him being ‘gifted’ Tiki as a 

reward for his assistance. 

Tiki being ‘high-born’ 

may have seen her being 

viewed as a prize befitting 

Howland. 

Howland and Tiki 

lived together without 

a formal Christian 

marriage for about 

20 years and lived 

in Port Levy and 

Pigeon Bay, before 

eventually settling 

in Okains Bay 

to raise their 

children. 

Though startling 

by modern 

cultural standards, 

Hampton says it is 

possible Tiki had 

more say over this 

‘sale’ than many 

would expect.

is the fourth greatgranddaughter 

of Hare Tiki and

Seth Howland.

mixed union leaves lasting legacy 

“Going in to it, you were 

always told she was like a Māori 

princess, given in marriage. 

When you dig deeper you start to 

see the different power dynamics 

at the time.” 

Hampton believes there is 

plenty to learn from looking back 

at these mixed marriages. 

“I think we can learn a mutual 

appreciation of each other and 

kind of an equal standing. I think 

it’s interesting to even compare 

to mixed relationships today, 

because it’s never one culture just 

assimilating into another. You’re 

always learning more about each 

other.”

Research reveals gaps in historical 


After discovering her roots, 

Hampton reviewed the Ngāi 

Tahu blue book containing the 

whakapapa (ancestry) of the iwi. 

“Through the ancestry, I’ve 

started to learn about my, and 

our ancestors, connection to Port 

Levy and Koukourārata. That’s 

opened a few doors for me.” 

Hampton was then able to get 

an internship working at the 

Ngāi Tahu archives last year. 

There she met fellow intern 

Elizabeth Wells and they 

discovered their shared ancestry 

with Tiki and Howland. 

The couple’s daughter, Huldah 

Howland, is a key figure for 

people tracing their ancestry 

to the early Māori-pākehā 

marriages in Banks Peninsula 

due to her having nine children. 

In 1863, Huldah Howland was 

the second Okains Bay woman 

of Māori ancestry to be married 

in the Christian tradition in her 

nuptials to lawyer James William 

Wells. 

On her death in 1916, she was 

survived by her husband and 

nine children. 

In her 1916 obituary, she was 

described as being “of a very 

kindly disposition and was 

highly respected by all who knew 

her.” 

In her last year of studies, 

Burial site mystery 

The burial site of Hare Tiki is unknown despite research 

from Georgia Hampton and her grandmother. 

About 20 years ago, Heather Hampton made it her 

mission to locate Tiki’s resting place. 

Despite only being related to Tiki through marriage 

to her husband Barry Hampton, she was interested in 

discovering a family mystery. 

“She’s kind of taken up that research on behalf of the 

family. She’s really into like genealogy and pulling those 

different narratives together,” said Georgia Hampton. 

Heather Hampton went to Okains Bay and spoke to 

museum founder Murray Thacker in search of clues, 

but to no avail. 

“She started a lot of conversations, but wasn’t really 

able to get anywhere.” 

At the time there were also rumours Tiki was buried 

in Queens Charlotte Sound, but investigations by 

Heather Hampton found nothing. 

There is no record of Tiki’s death, but it is believed she 

died relatively young. This is because her two daughters 

who lived until adulthood, were raised by another 

woman. 

There are records of Seth Howland being buried 

in Okains Bay Cemetery, but there is no remaining 

headstone to help locate the exact spot. 

Hampton wanted to understand 

whether Māori women like 

Tiki were able to maintain their 

culture when marrying pākehā. 

Men like Howland, who 

worked at whaling outposts in 

Banks Peninsula, were isolated 

from connection with their home 

countries. 

They even felt far removed 

from other migrants in 

Canterbury and the North 

Island. 

Numbering 1000 at most 

before the Treaty of Waitangi, 

these often ‘rough’ men became 

reliant on and intertwined with 

the fabric of Māori communities 

in Okains Bay, Akaroa, and Port 

Levy. 

LEGACY: Huldah Howland and her husband James William 

Wells. She was the second woman to be married in pākehā 

tradition in Okains Bay. Her husband-to-be, lawyer James 

William Wells, had to walk all the way to Akaroa to obtain a 

marriage licence. Huldah Howland had nine children making 

her a key common ancestor for people tracing their lineage 

back to early Banks Peninsula marriages between Māori 

women and pākehā men.

accounts of intercultural marriage 

“Out there, they were really, 

really isolated so I think that 

would have played a big part 

in how close the European and 

Māori communities were in all 

their interactions.” 

Far from the picture of forced 

assimilation of Māori, Hampton 

found an ‘amalgamated’ culture in 

the first half of the 19th century, 

with marriage connections playing 

a large role. 

The contemporary accounts 

from Christian missionaries 

detailed the lifestyles and 

worldviews of male pākehā 

settlers, but with a striking lack of 

information on the Māori women 

they married. 

“It was frustrating going 

through them. I don’t know 

whether it was unintentional 

or they just didn’t think that 

they were important enough to 

include.” 

Hampton finds the limited 

descriptions of the Māori wives 

by the missionaries patronising at 

best and insulting at worst. 

Pākehā men like Howland who 

did live in Māori communities, 

and accepted the tikanga 

(customs) of the iwi, were 

sometimes accused of “going 

native” by missionaries and 

wealthier settlers. 

“It wasn’t the case for Seth, but 

there are examples of pākehā

and marriages and do sweeping 

“It’s unfortunate that we don’t generalisations. They’re all so 

have any idea really. There’s only different. It really depended, in 

particular, on the husband and 

how open he was in engaging with 

that ‘Māori sphere’.” 

Hampton said Māori women’s 

status in pre-European society was 

misunderstood by early settlers. 

If a high enough rank, they had 

choice over their husband and 

took part in decision-making in 

their iwi and hapū. 

“It wasn’t like all these women 

had autonomy, but it’s not like 

they were all subservient to their 

husbands either.” 

Hampton said some women 

having the freedom to venture 

out on their own to meet and 

marry pākehā whalers showed 

their increased level of autonomy 

compared to European women. 

The ‘cultural amalgamation’ 

between ‘Māori and pākehā in 

Banks Peninsula did not last 

forever. 

As more wealthy and established 

people settled and Ngāi Tahu was 

further alienated from its land, 

the influence of Māori women’s 

culture on their husbands, 

children and communities 

diminished. 

In a sign of changing times, the 

couple married in the Christian 

tradition at Port Levy in 1857 and 

Tiki and her children were then 

baptised. 

Hampton said most Māori 

women who married pākehā 

maintained connections with their 

iwi and hapū, but the same cannot 

be said for all their children. 

Many lost their language, tribal 

identity and wealth. 

To celebrate a rich family 

history, Hampton is helping to 

organise a family reunion for all of 

Huldah Howland’s descendants at 

Tūtehuarewa Marae in Port Levy. 

Planned for November, 

Hampton hopes about 50 to 

100 people will attend the 

commemoration, focused 

on building connections and 

discussing the family history.

NEWS 

Hanno 

Sander from 

the Coastal 

Pathway 

Group 

updates 

readers on the project 

During the final phase of 

the Coastal Pathway Project, 

construction activities took place 

in an area known to provide 

habitat for kororā, commonly 

known as white-flippered 

penguins – a species classified as 

“at risk – declining’’. 

Recognising the significance of 

this habitat, the Coastal Pathway 

Group, in collaboration with 

the city council and contractor 

Fulton Hogan, diligently pursued 

a project that prioritised quality 

while minimising disturbance 

to both human and penguin 

populations. 

From the project’s inception, the 

council obtained a Wildlife Act 

Authority from the Department 

of Conservation, enabling the 

capture, handling, and relocation 

of penguins by a DOC-approved 

penguin handler along the 

580m-long rock revetment along 

the eastern end of the Moncks 

Bay pathway section between the 

Christchurch Yacht Club and 

Rapanui/Shag Rock. 

Rigorous surveys, conducted by 

ecologists and a specially trained 

penguin tracking dog, identified 

active burrows and provided 

valuable insights into kororā 

behaviour, including breeding and 

moulting patterns. 

After seven surveys spanning 

the pre-breeding and breeding 

seasons from August to November 

2023, a total of four active burrows 

were identified – crucial shelters 

for the penguins. Within these 

burrows, ecologists observed signs 

of at least four adult penguins

protect ‘at risk’ penguins 

HABITAT: White-flippered penguins were found and 

relocated from the eastern end of the Moncks Bay 

pathway section. 

breeding, moulting and roosting. 

The result were four healthy 

penguin chicks who will call the 

Coastal Pathway their home. 

Following the pathway’s 

completion, subsequent surveys 

confirmed ongoing kororā activity 

along the revetment section. 

As stewards of this cherished 

community asset, the Coastal 

Pathway Group remains steadfast 

in its commitment to conservation 

and enhancement.
