A Bibliography of the Avon Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai A Bibliography of the Avon Heathcote Estuary/Ihutai Compiled by Paul Corliss December 2006 “Formerly, the Kaiapoi Ngāi Tahu [Ngai Tuahuriri ] were the owners of Ihutai, an important fishing easement located in the New Brighton - Sumner coastline area. It was part of a much larger fishery or mahinga kai used by a number of specially designated hapū and whānau groups. The owners of these traditional sites were those of the Kaiapoi Reserve and their immediate descendants. The boundary of Ihutai was bounded by the shores of the Ōtākaro (Avon) and Ōpāwaho (Heathcote) rivers including the central railway station and to a point approximately known as Avonside Girls High School, across to the Cashmere Hills and then to Pukekai Kahu (Castle Hill). This also included all of the Heathcote Valley to the summit of Te Heru o Kahukura.” Sources: Alexander Turnbull Library Archives New Zealand - Te Rua Mahara o te Kawanatanga Bibliographies of all viewed entries Canterbury Central Library Canterbury Museum Archives Collection Canterbury University - Te Whare Wananga o Waitaha Cawthron Institute Charles Berridge, Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, Bibliography Project Christchurch City Council Christchurch Drainage Board Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology – Te Wananga o Otautahi Christchurch Star newspaper Department of Conservation Environment Canterbury/ECan Hocken Library Landcare Research Lincoln University - Te Whare Wanaka o Aoraki Lyttelton Harbour Board Manaaki Whenua Press, Lincoln Macmillan Brown Library Ministry of Works & Development Ministry for the Environment National Institute of Water & Atmosphere - Taihoro Nukurangi National Library - Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa New Brighton Library Personal Library Royal Society of New Zealand The Press newspaper Sumner Library Sumner Museum University of Auckland - Te Whare Wananga o Tamaki Makaurau Victoria University of Wellington - Te Whare Wananga o te Opoko o te Ika a Maui I acknowledge the support and contributions made by the following: Staff at Archives New Zealand, Christchurch; Eric Banks (Christchurch City Council); Simon Bardsley (ECan); Jenny Bond (ECan); Mike Bourke (Christchurch City Council); Mike Bradstock; Lex Calder (ECan); Tony Clay (Burnside High School); Ken Couling (Christchurch City Council); Alex Drysdale (AHEIT); Stephen King (ECan); Jason Kronig (ECan); Heather Holder-Lunn (Christchurch City Council); Alisdair Hutchison (AHEIT); Islay Marsden (Canterbury University); Jenny Ridgen (Christchurch City Council); Jim Robb (ex Christchurch City Council); Topsy Rule (Sumner Museum); Martin Ward (AHEIT); Chrissie Williams (AHEIT). An Ihutai Bibliography 2 The bibliography has been developed with the intention of providing access to estuary material by the widest possible audience - from scientists to community groups, from schools to environmental activists, from local body researchers to the merely curious. It has been produced by the cooperation of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, the Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury and has been supported by a Lottery Board grant. While the great majority of the material is specific to the estuary and its two major rivers, some more general books have incorporated on the basis of providing supportive texts for the broader Christchurch/Canterbury/New Zealand context of subject matter (historical, botanical, Maori, biological, geological, etc). In view of the range of potential users it gives some general pointers on key subjects of which their estuarine connection may only form part of their search. Geographical boundaries for material inclusion were set at 500 metres from the estuary edge, to the Woolston Cut on the Heathcote River/Opawaho and Bridge Street Bridge on the Avon River/Otakaro. This hasn’t prevented material derived from the catchment being included, but indicates that there is still further relevant material for inclusion, currently sitting outside the geographical limits initially set. The bibliography, which now has in excess of 1,200 entries, has been entered into a database which will be made available and is accordingly publicly accessible via the internet on the ECan and the AHEIT websites. Searches will be able to be undertaken by a variety of methods including: Author name, title, subject, general keywords, biological, physical and human components which are broken down into relevant keyword categories, and a range of location fields. Where available, web links are provided for entries that can be directly accessed on the internet. Record notes associated with each entry will generally, where known, contain an indication of where to access the actual title. Generally the following holds true: · An Environment Canterbury report or record number suggests that the entry is held at ECan, Kilmore St, Christchurch. · A Christchurch City Council report suggests that the entry is held at the Christchurch City Council, Tuam Street, Christchurch. Copies are often also available from the Christchurch Central Library or can be sought from their website. · An ISBN or DBCN number suggests that the entry may be held at the Christchurch Central Library, either the main stacks or the Aotearoa/New Zealand Room · A Thesis is normally held at the corresponding university library. · Although the subject of each entry has not always been specified in the tick boxes, the subject is often indicated by the title. Other sources (eg Archives New Zealand) are contained in the notes associated with the particular entry. This information and the contact details, postal, website and email addresses, phone numbers, etc are contained in the More information link on the front page of the website bibliography (and at the rear of this hard copy). Currently there are some 28 relevant organisations entered. A CD on the inside rear cover of this book, holds a copy of the Bibliography in Word Document format. It can be searched by simply scrolling the authors/organisation alphabetically or using the “Find” function in the drop down menu under the “Edit” facility in Word. Paul Corliss.

  • Bromley Cemetery Guide
    Bromley Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Block 1A Row C No. 33 Hurd Born at Hinton, England, Frank James Hurd emigrated with his parents. He worked as a contractor and, in 1896, in Wellington, married Lizzie Coker. The bride, 70, claimed to be 51 while the groom, 40, gave his age as 47. Lizzie had emigrated on the Regina in 1859 with her cousin, James Gapes (later Mayor of Christchurch) and his family and had already been twice-wed. Indeed, the property she had inherited from her first husband, George Allen, had enabled her second spouse, John Etherden Coker, to build the Manchester Street hotel which bears his name. Lizzie and Frank were able to make trips to England and to Canada where there dwelt Lizzie’s brother, once a member of the Horse Guards. Lizzie died in 1910 and, two years later, Hurd married again. He and his wife lived at 630 Barbadoes Street. Hurd was a big man who, in old age he had a white moustache, cap and walking stick. He died, at 85, on 1 April 1942. Provisions of Lizzie’s will meant that a sum of money now came to the descendants of James Gapes. They were now so numerous that the women of the tribe could spend their inheritance on a new hat and have nothing left over.

  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
    WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’.

  • Society Celebrates the Acquisition of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock
    Newsletter, December 2010 Society celebrates the acquisition of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock Sunday 21 November was a day of celebration for the Society. Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock were handed over to the Society from the Gama Foundation. On a beautiful day, with magnificent views from the Gibraltar Rock car park, a group of Society members gathered to hear Gama Foundation trustees Grant & Marilyn Nelson, Society President Bill Woods, and Garry Moore talk about the importance of the land and its transfer to the Society, helping advance our aim of protecting the upper reaches of the Port Hills. Omahu Bush is on the western side of the Port Hills, along the Summit Road past the Sign of the Bellbird and stretches from the Gibraltar Rock car- park down towards Tai Tapu. The total land area is 146 hectares and is subject to Queen Elizabeth II covenants. It includes the volcanic outcrop of Gibraltar Rock, an easily accessed block of native bush, with a wide variety of native trees and ferns, native birds such as bellbirds and fantails, and several walking tracks, ranging from 30 minutes to two hours duration, and great views. Grant and Marilyn Nelson with Garry Moore A history of Omahu Bush and Gibraltar Rock Omahu, the Maori name meaning ‘running silently’, ‘escaping’ and ‘a place of healing’, was given to the area following the escape through the bush by several of the followers of a Maori chief who had been killed in a skirmish on Coopers Knob. The land was part of Sir Heaton Rhodes’ Otahuna estate.

  • 2019 Nationals Promotion
    Promotion for the 2019 National Competitions of the NZ Federation of Amateur Winemakers and Brewers Inc More than 50 reasons why you should come to Christchurch for the Nationals in October 2019 1 Museum. Canterbury Museum is housed in a splendid pseudo-gothic structure build of grey basalt with rhyolite (and trachyte) facings quarried from local quarries, and with animal faces carved in Oamaru stone. Named in honour of the building’s original architect – Benjamin Mountfort - the Mountfort gallery is supported by heart kauri columns. Originally housed in the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings and first opened to the public in 1867 under the curatorship of Dr.Julius von Haast, the collection soon moved in 1870 to the new purpose-built building. World-renown for its natural and human history collections, it houses some extraordinary collections as well as holding regular displays from other places. Google Canterbury Museum to find the website. 2 Art Gallery. The new Christchurch Art Gallery –Te Puna Waiwhetu - was opened in 2003, before the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. It is a spectacular glass fronted building which is a work of art in itself. The building was used as Civil Defence headquarters for Christchurch following the 2010 earthquake, and again after the February 2011 earthquake. The gallery was designed to deal with seismic events. The gallery's foundation, a concrete raft slab that sits on the surface of the ground, evenly distributes earthquake forces. However, it sustained some damage in the 2011 earthquake. The gallery did not reopen until 19 December 2015 due to the need for extensive refurbishments and improvements.
