Huge support for
East’s coastal stand
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
and Matt Salmons
DAVID EAST has received
a flood of support over his
allegations the city’s District
Plan was tampered with, which
could see him asked to resign as
a city councillor.
He is facing a disciplinary
hearing and has been stood
down as chairman of the regulatory
performance committee
after calling for an independent
inquiry into an erased clause in
the District Plan.
Cr East alleged the omission
of a discretionary rule in the city
council’s High Flood Hazard
Management Area policy was
against the intentions of the
replacement district plan independent
hearing’s panel.
Without the discretionary
rule known as the enable clause
residents are finding it almost
impossible to build or extend
their properties within the
HFHMA.
It affects people in Southshore
and Redcliffs.
The city council fought the inclusion
of the clause during the
process of the plan’s ratification
by a hearings panel two years
ago.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money,
deputy chairman Tim Sintes and
Linwood-Heathcote-Central
Community Board member
Darrell Latham are also facing
disciplinary action over their
outspoken comments.
Said Cr East: “I am actually
overwhelmed by the amount
of support I have had. Not only
from my own community but

SOUTHERN VIEW
I’M NOT surprised David East has got the
backing of the community over his stand
on the flooding and building issues which
will affect many in Southshore and across
the estuary in Redcliffs.
But it looks like he will get slam-dunked
by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and city council bosses.
Time will tell if he will be asked to resign as a city councillor.
Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money
and her deputy Tim Sintes are also facing council disciplinary
action too.
Councillors are supposed to follow certain rules when they
speak publicly. But Dalziel and the city council have been very
heavy-handed.
East’s public stand is what people wanting to build on their
empty sections want to hear.
They need a voice.

“But I do recognise there are

“He has opened it right up,

Mrs Davies said it will cost

be necessary.

Suburb of Sockburn quickly disappearing
• By Anan Zaki
SOCKBURN HAS been
mentioned in city records for
140 years, but local identities say
their suburb is under siege.
Former Paparua County clerk
and Sockburn resident of 49
years, Bryan Mooar, believed
the growth of the Wigram
subdivisions have played a large
role in the demise of Sockburn.
Mr Mooar was at the Paparua
County Council for 25 years, 13
of those as clerk, until it amalgamated
with Christchurch in
1989.
Sockburn resident of 68 years
Eddie Cutts agreed with Mr
Mooar’s views.
Mr Cutts is the grandson of
Albert Cutts, who once owned
Chokebore Lodge, which was associated
with horse racing.
“It’s disappearing because
we’ve got the very big Wigram
[residential] complex at the old
airport, together with the retirement
villages,” Mr Mooar said.
He said other factors that have
fuelled the decline of the area
was the 2011 closures of the
former Sockburn Service Centre
and the suburb’s last major freezing
works, the Alliance Freezing
Company.
The Alliance freezing works
IDENTITIES: Long-time Sockburn residents Bryan Mooar and Eddie Cutts at the Sockburn
roundabout.
was at the former site of the city
abattoir on Racecourse Rd.
Another closure that affected
the area was the Sockburn swimming
pool, which shut down in
2006, Mr Mooar said.
“The old abattoir was an old
identity and provided a lot of
job availability for people in the
area,” he said.
Recently the Sockburn Fire
Station was renamed Wigram
and next year Sockburn School
will move to Wigram.
“It’s not just quietly disappearing
. . . it’s being gobbled up,” Mr
Mooar said.
He believed the future of
the suburb was industrial and
there was no way to stop the
suburb being taken over.
“It’s just a matter of progress,
the city expanding and it’s only
one or two kilometres from
Riccarton Rd, which is a main
route,” Mr Mooar said.
He did not feel sad about
Sockburn being eroded away, as
he believed it was for the greater
good of the city.
Mr Cutts said much of Sockburn
has already disappeared as
the area was known for its horse
racing stables.
He believed the city’s population
growth has negatively
impacted the racing history of
the area.
“It’s disappearing now, all that
land by the Riccarton Racecourse
is being gobbled up developers
for high density living.
“Racecourse Rd and the surrounding
streets had horses
going to the track every morning
and now you’re not even allowed
a horse on the road. So Sockburn
has lost its identity.”
Mr Cutts wished his children
and grandchildren enjoyed the
area like he was able to.
“But you can’t live in the past
unfortunately, I would like to
though. We used to go over to
the racecourse and disappear for
the day, play in the pits, shoot
rabbits and fly kites.”

Rich farming and equine history
CITY LIBRARY records
showed that Sockburn was
first mentioned in 1878, in an
advertisement in The Press.
It was referred to as the “old
racecourse platform (Sockburn)”.
Library records showed that
Sockburn was the name of an
hold homestead of a farm, which
occupied the site where the city
abattoir stood on Racecourse Rd.
The railway platform on Alloy
St was first called Racecourse,
because it served the Riccarton
Racecourse.
The platform was later moved
to Hornby but a need developed
for a new station on the original
site. When this was built it was
given the name Sockburn.
In 1903, the Cyclopedia of New
Zealand described Sockburn as
a farming suburb, which was
rapidly becoming a residential
suburb.
The book stated that Sockburn
was home to a number of
abattoirs belonging to the city
council. There were also several
training stables in the neighbourhood.
In 1916, the suburb had an
airport to its name, but it was
renamed after the former mayor
Sir Henry Wigram in 1923.
The area was part of the
Paparua County Council until
1989, when it amalgamated with
the Christchurch City Council.
Since the turn of the 21st-century,
population figures indicated
slow growth in the area.
City council statistics showed
that from 2001 to 2016, the
population of Hornby/Sockburn
grew from 16,000 to an estimated
17,800.
In the same period, the population
of Halswell/Wigram jumped
from 19,000 to an estimated
26,000.

Sooty set to move out of The Swamp
Well-known publican
Stephen “Sooty” Moffett
is moving on from the
Islington Tavern after 26
years. He sat down with
reporter Anan Zaki to
discuss the highs and
lows
IT WAS the night of September
4, 2010, the city was still in
shock from the magnitude 7.1
earthquake which struck that
morning.
Businesses all over the city
were closed, but on Main South
Rd, the queues for the Islington
Tavern, also known as The
Swamp, spilled onto the footpath.
“We never missed a day. There
was just nowhere else [for people]
to go. One in the morning and
we had 100 people outside and
100 people inside and we’re only
allowed 144 people,” recalls Mr
Moffett.
“At one stage we had 11 doormen,
so it takes everything
you make away. We had people
dragging each other through
windows, it was crazy.”
The 54-year-old took over The
Swamp in August 1992, and
moved in above the pub. To this
day he does not know how it
became known as The Swamp.
“No idea and no one has ever
told me. It was always here.
Whether it had something to do
with the freezing works around
here, I don’t know,” Mr Moffett
said.
The pub has remained a popular
watering hole for freezing
workers and rugby league players.
When Mr Moffett took over, it
was his first foray into hospitality.
“My former in-laws were in
the [hospitality] game, and at the
time we thought it was a great
idea.”
Initially it was hard, working
long hours to keep the business
running, but that was just part of
the “tough” industry.
“I really slogged it out back
then,” he said.
One memorable moment that
he will never forget in his 26
years at The Swamp was a breakin
in the late 1990s.
“The most bizarre thing that’s
ever happened is I got robbed by
two people in wetsuits and [they]
emptied our gaming machines.
“The alarms didn’t go off, the
window was taken out and they
came through,” Mr Moffett said.
The break-in was caught on a
CCTV camera, but police were
never able to catch the thieves,
he said.
Mr Moffett started $5 roasts
which packed in customers.
“Twenty-six years ago, there
was just less choice. Hospitality is
really tough on the food game at
the moment.
“To sell a roast to a young
person now would be pretty hard,
whereas back then they would
come looking for it,” Mr Moffett
said.
Behaviour at pubs have also
changed for the better in recent
years, he said.
“Twenty-six years ago you’d
be waiting at the back door for
something to happen. It was the
wild west.
“Whereas now, if something
happened it would make the
newspaper,” Mr Moffett said.
When fights broke out, he
had no time for it and trespass
notices were handed out almost
immediately.
Mr Moffett said he is selling the
business to a “North Island-based
development company.”
He said the owners did not
want to be named.
However, Mr Moffett will still
be at The Swamp until the new
owners fully take over in late
February.
He decided to sell the business
after struggling through a year
of roadworks at Pound Rd from
2016 to 2017.
“It was never really for sale,
they [the new owners] came
trying to buy it and I guess once
you see roadworks around here,
you realise how vulnerable you
are to it affecting your business.
“We had a drastic change in
turnover, revenue fell about 20
per cent. But I’m not going to
say how much we turn over,” Mr
Moffett said.
He does not know what the
new owners plans are for the
property, but he believes the
name The Swamp will be kept.
And what will he miss the most
when he leaves The Swamp?
“The people. The characters
that come here, you get to know
them all over the years,” Mr
Moffett said.As for his own
nickname, “Sooty”, it originated
from The Sooty (TV) Show
TIME’S UP: Stephen
“Sooty” Moffett is

Tavern, known as The
Swamp after 26 years
of ownership.
which ran from 1955 to 1992.
“When I worked at a
supermarket as a schoolboy
[in the 1970s], I used to pack
sausages, and the boss of the
butchery gave [the name].
“There was two of us [working
under the boss], I was called
Sooty and the other one was
called Sweep,” Mr Moffett said.
And he doesn’t plan to leave
the industry just yet.
“I’ve got another bar,
Schroeder’s in St Albans. At this
stage it’ll be the only one,” he
said. However, Mr Moffett did
not rule out buying a new bar.
He has some advice for anyone
looking into getting into the
hospitality industry.
“It’s [about] the customer,
the customer, the customer,”
Mr Moffett said. “No matter
what you think, it’s about the
customer.”

While the Hive is uniquely
large in scale to house the

civic presence at its prominent

out and modulated to reflect the
grain of London St and allow

One hundred baby
beanies crocheted by
prisoners have been
donated to newborns at
Christchurch Women’s
Hospital.
The Christchurch
Women’s Prison’s knit
project is growing in
popularity and currently
involves nine novice and
experienced knitters.
Poppy, who is part of
the prison group, is a very
keen knitter.
Over the past few
months, she has knitted 83
of the hats.
“I enjoy knitting and
through my knitting, I
can do something useful
and give something back
to society while I am
incarcerated,” she said.
“I am approached by
other prisoners and teach
them to knit from basics
to cables. I think it is good
for the younger women,
keeping them busy.”
Christchurch Women’s
Prison residential manager
Tracy Tyro said it is a
constructive activity for
inmates.
“They appreciate being
able to do something
positive with their spare
time. It can be a very
therapeutic activity. The
knitting group can be a
good quiet space for the
women.”
“This is a project
that really appeals to
the women, many of
whom have children and
grandchildren of their
own. They appreciate
the difference a hat can
make to keeping little
ones warm. It offers the
women an opportunity to
create something pretty
and practical for some of
our community’s most
vulnerable.”
She said in addition to
helping someone in the
community, the women
have learnt other skills.
“They learn to work
and be in a group, to take
instruction and share
their knowledge, they can
be creative and express
themselves in new ways.
All of these skills will be
useful for when they are
released.”
The project has been
running for eight months
and is supported by prison
staff and chaplaincy, and
the Hope Church.

CLOSE SHAVE: Summerset Wigram resident Liz Johnston gets her head shaved
by Manscape owner Kaisa Pruler.
Wigram resident
loses her locks
SUMMERSET at Wigram
resident Liz Johnston took
a stand for cancer when
she shaved her head for a
Daffodil Day fundraiser.
Convincing village
manager Russell Walters to
join in and shave his beard,
Mrs Johnston, 72, said this
is the third head shave she
has done.
It’s an important cause
for Mrs Johnston, who
believes that all families
are affected by cancer at
some point.
“Someone at church
asked me if I’d shave my
head for cancer, and I told
her I would before I was
80.
“Unfortunately she
passed away, so I decided I
needed to do it to honour
the promise I made her,”
she said.
Mrs Johnston wanted
to raise as much money as
possible and was confident
she would have support.
“I’m sure one day they
will find an answer to
cancer. This is just another
way I can give back,” she
said.
She had her head shaved
in the village lounge of
Wigram’s Summerset
retirement village, in front
of a crowd of more than
100 residents and friends.
With a full day of
fundraising she helped
raise $4000 for the cause.
Village manager Russell
Walters said that he was
glad to be of help and very
relieved to get rid of his
overgrown beard.
Staff from hair salon
Manscape offered to give
Mrs Johnston her buzzcut.
Said Summerset Wigram
activities co-ordinator
Nicki Singer: “It was a
fantastic event and such a
fun way to raise money.
“Liz, Russell, the
residents at Summerset
Wigram and the
wider community that
supported them, should
be really proud of their
achievement.”
Mrs Johnston said she
felt “really good” after the
shave.
“It doesn’t take long to
grow back. People tell me,
‘you’re brave’, but I’m not
because I get to choose to
do it.
“There is no hero in that.
The real heroes are those
who have no choice.”
KIND DEED: Marian College students have raised nearly $500 to help support
women with endometriosis. Endometriosis New Zealand was presented
with $454 by the students who recently ran a raffle to raise the money. The
donation will go towards services and practical support for women. The
students approached businesses who donated items for the raffle. Businesses
included Kasia Stanicich Make Up, Riccarton Park, Stirling Sports Rangiora and
The Palms. Endometriosis New Zealand hair ribbons and bookmarks were
also sold, as well as one-off donations being received. From left – Marian

Putting smiles on the faces of strangers
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Ashleigh Monk
SMALL ACTS of kindness
“make the world a better place”
- at least, that’s what Feebee
Newlands believes.
Mrs Newlands is the founder
of Pay It Forward, a volunteer
organisation which has been
dedicated to carrying our
random acts of kindness for the
past five years.
On September 1, the 15th
New Zealand Random Acts of
Kindness Day, Mrs Newlands
and her team armed themselves
with flowers and lollies to give
out around the city.
“It was a lot of fun this year, we
ran into a lot of people who had
bad days and they said ‘thank
goodness you’ve come along and
cheered me up, I feel so happy
now’,” she said.
“There were a lot of emotions
this year, there have obviously
been some tough times for
people, so it’s just a matter
of bringing some cheer to
Christchurch.”
The group visited Ronald
McDonald House, the YMCA,
the Margaret Mahy Family
Playground, Christchurch
Charity Hospital, Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village and others.
“It was a day of joy and
excitement, and just people
getting out of their comfort zone
. . . It’s so great to have some fun
with the kids, and the elderly
were just beside themselves
getting flowers and chocolates.”
This year’s theme was suicide
awareness, and Mrs Newlands
said the support from local
sponsors had been “incredible”.
“We had a focus on suicide
awareness which was tough
because two of the girls have lost

their a mother, brother and son
to suicide,” she said.
“Everything gets donated,
it’s amazing. Nona [general
manager] from Moffat’s Flower
Company, as soon as she found
out it was for suicide awareness,
she just gave us bucket-loads of
flowers, it was incredible.”
Mrs Newlands started the Pay
It Forward group five years ago.
She said she wanted to inspire
others to perform random acts
of kindness not only just on
September 1, but all year round.
“It’s pretty powerful. It’s a great
message of remembering to reach
out, build a better community
and love and support one
another,” she said.
“It’s a really important day,
and we want to create that ripple
effect. There are people that do
random acts of kindness all the
time, but there are some that
don’t do it, and we want to get
people to start doing it all the
time.”
She said she wanted to expand
Pay It Forward to include people
from all over the country,
encouraging them to reach out to
their own communities.
“It’s all about linking people
from all over New Zealand up,”
she said.
“I’m trying to collect people
from all over New Zealand to
make the magic happen. We have
some guys in Nelson, we had
someone from Oamaru, some
from Hokitika, people from
Auckland.”

Woolston duo seek
Teki-Clark to lead the way
national boxing titles
• By Jacob Page
A CHANCE at redemption and
a debut on the national stage are
the motivators for two Woolston
boxers.
Coach Holly Sullivan believes
she has a couple of dark horses in
Trevor Swainson and Hamuera
Tainui for the New Zealand
amateur championships at the
Hornby Workingmen’s Club next
month.
Swainson, 25, will compete in
the 91kg elite grade and Tainui,
14, will take part in the 63kg
cadet section.
Swainson will be competing in
his first nationals after an injured
rib ruled him out last year.
While Tainui will be looking
to go one better than his silver
medal last year at his final
opportunity in the cadet class.
“I don’t put guys in there if I
don’t think hey have a chance to
win,” Sullivan said.
“Trevor is someone who’s been
training with me for the past five
years and rediscovered his fire
for boxing after stepping away.
“He’s really excited to be
competing and just wants to
go up against the best in the
country.”
Tainui lost his gold medal bout
to Canterbury teammate Daniel
Meehan 12 months ago.
Meehan will move up to the
junior grade this year meaning
Tainui will have a chance at the
gold to add to his silver.
“He’s a very strong kid,”

he can win for sure.

ADDINGTON’S Riverside
Boxing Club is out to prove
it can win national titles.
Defending elite 81kg
champion Sunny Teki-Clark
will lead the way but coach
Matt Neale said there are
several other boxers eager to be
called the best in the country.
“With Sunny winning the national
title last year, I’ve really
noticed how much it has lifted
his confidence,” Neale said.
“He’s training hard and setting
a great example.”
A late inclusion in the team is
Thomas Hanford who has been
in a cast after breaking his hand
while winning a South Island
Golden Gloves title in June.
“He’s had five fights this year
and only lost one,” Neale said.
“He’s only just getting back
into it and he’s a guy who has a
lot of talent and for him not to
be able to perform at nationals
would have been a real shame.”
Sophie Mulally will be
another eager for competition.
“We have been struggling to
get her matched-up with suitable
opponents lately but she
never misses training and will
be ready to go.”
Alex Oliver, who will
compete in a tough 75kg elite
class, is another quiet achiever.
“He’s not a guy who says a
lot,” Neale said.
“He comes in and works hard

and I think he’ll give a good
account of himself.
Neale, who is also a
Canterbury selector said
the team would get extra
confidence from competing
with the support of a home
crowd.

PROMINENT Cantabrians
have given a mixed response to
the possible futuristic look of
Cathedral Square.
Plans for what the Square
could look like were released
by Regenerate Christchurch
yesterday after seven years of
debate and controversy over the
slow progress of the rebuild.
It includes three covered
pavilions, which would have
a “lattice-style” translucent
roof, which could host markets
and other events.
FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.
The long-term vision, which is
estimated to cost between $60-
$80 million, aims to bring people
back into the area, through a
series of interconnected public
spaces.
The vision for the Square also
includes Cathedral Gardens
with trees and water features,
Post Office Place with events
and meeting spaces, and Library
Plaza with other people-friendly
areas.

“We’ve got to look at what is

A CON man who tells his
intended victims he will harm
their families if they don’t pay up
may face a bigger problem than
the law – gangs.
Police have received 19 complaints
from Christchurch people
targeted by the sinister scam. It
involves phone
calls and texts to
victims who are
told the caller is
from the Mongrel
Mob, Highway 61
or Black Power.
Pay up or your
family members, Greg
including elderly Newbold
parents, will be
attacked, the caller says.
But it appears the con man is
not connected to the gangs, just
using their names to put fear into
the intended victims.
Canterbury University criminologist
Greg Newbold said yesterday
the gangs would be “filthy”.
“All I can say is he’s got a death
wish,” he said.
“They will be absolutely p***ed
off. Anybody who impersonates
a gang member is committing a
serious crime against the gang.”
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator
could get a “hiding” for that
alone.

Convicted killer involved
in high speed smash
Female
passenger
in lucky
escape
• By Barry Clarke and Emily
O’Connell
A CONVICTED killer is back
behind bars after a spectacular
crash while allegedly fleeing
police.
John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru
Forester crashed through the
Rolleston dog park fence on
Saturday.
A spear-like fence post
smashed through the window
screen narrowly missing a
woman in the passenger seat.
Miraculously Jamieson and the
woman were unhurt.
He had earlier been recorded
driving at 180km/h on State
Highway 1.
A cut-down rifle was later
found by police in the vehicle.
Startled dog walkers said
Jamieson ran a short distance
from the vehicle before stopping
to see if the woman in the vehicle
was okay.
Police arrived soon after and
he was apprehended.
Jamieson was one of six men
found guilty of the manslaughter
of Timaru man Wayne Kerry
Bray in 2009. Jamieson received
a nine-year jail sentence. He was
on bail for other charges at the
time of the attack on Mr Bray.
Mr Bray, 26, died four days
after he was punched, kicked and
stomped on in a Timaru street.
Mr Bray had walked past a
property where there had been a
party. There had been bad blood

5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #BE193116
With story book charm and grand street
appeal this home was always designed
to impress and never more so than now,
with modern homes all beginning to look
the same. The wide front portico with its
black and white chequered floor opens
into an expansive entry area with polished
wood floors, white wood panelling and the
stairway to the upstairs rooms. Impeccably
updated interiors are tasteful and elegant.
The family living and dining spaces and
kitchen are nicely connected to the central
entrance area with a second formal living
room on the opposite side. Doors can be
flung open to create large flowing spaces
or closed off for a more cosy, intimate
feel. A central wood burner efficiently
heats all the spaces with the warm glow
of real flame. The designer kitchen, all
in warm tones of white with extra wide,
freestanding oven, fits perfectly with
the character of the home while adding
contemporary convenience. A butler’s
pantry helps keep mess to a minimum
and adds a ton of storage. Adjacent to the
dining room, there is a sizeable laundry
with a showering and wash area. The
communal spaces enjoy views over the
treetops and all day sun.
There are as many as six bedrooms,
one downstairs with an ensuite and the
others all upstairs along with the main
bathroom. From the upstairs rooms there
are lovely views over the city ensuring
something to capture the eye day or night.
This substantial family home affords the
flexibility to configure it to suit your needs
with plenty of options for families of all
shapes and sizes.
