SKILLS: Brothers Odin and Rikard Hanekom are part of a new rugby coaching programme ‘Bread and Butter’,<br />
designed to encourage reading.<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
BRENDAN NOLAN was<br />
watching his 5-year-old son<br />
reading last year when he had<br />
a realisation: Wouldn’t it be<br />
good if more kids this age were<br />
reading instead of playing<br />
PlayStation?<br />
So he created the coaching<br />
programme ‘Bread and Butter’,<br />
which he’s now looking to<br />
expand into other rugby and<br />
sports clubs in Canterbury.<br />
‘Bread and Butter’ uses sport<br />
and the B.R.E.A.D book to<br />
encourage kids to read, connect,<br />
and learn the basic principles of<br />
being a good person.<br />
The B.R.E.A.D book stands<br />
for: Balls Books; Read; Enjoy;<br />
Achieve; Dreams.<br />
Nolan, who played<br />
professional rugby in<br />
England, coaches the under-6<br />
Christchurch rugby team ‘C<br />
Pups’.<br />

Rocks<br />
will stay<br />
on<br />
Clifton<br />
beach<br />
THE REDCLIFFS Residents<br />
Association is “extremely<br />
disappointed” with the decision<br />
against removing the rocks at<br />
Clifton beach.<br />
The group, which has been<br />
advocating for the removal of the<br />
rocks for more than two years,<br />
said the beach is nothing like it<br />
used to be before.<br />
The rocks were brought to the<br />
surface of the beach following<br />
construction along the Coastal<br />
Pathway and Main Rd.<br />
In 2019 the city council sieved<br />
the excess sand and removed<br />
rocks larger than 100mm from<br />
the site, however, the Redcliffs<br />
Residents Association said there<br />
were still rocks present.<br />
The decision comes after the<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board met with the<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
Group [the group].<br />
During the meeting the group<br />
advised the board that the rocks<br />
“are not going to be a problem in<br />
the future and it would be pointless<br />
to remove the rocks and a<br />
waste of council’s funds.”<br />
However, Redcliffs Residents<br />
Association chairwoman Christine<br />
Toner said the beach can’t be<br />
enjoyed like it was before as the<br />
rocks prevent people from walking<br />
along it.<br />

Donations for food bank wanted<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
PUTTING A smile on people’s<br />
faces is the goal for the Hoon<br />
Hay Food Bank hoping to bring<br />
joy to families in need this year.<br />
But it desperately needs the<br />
public’s help.<br />
With Christmas just around<br />
the corner, the food bank has<br />
organised a present drive to<br />
give something a little extra to<br />
deserving families and children.<br />
Food bank founder Corrin<br />
Webster said it was about making<br />
a difference for families after<br />
a full-on year.<br />
“No one wants to see their kids<br />
struggle,” he said.<br />
“We do this to help people.”<br />
Webster was overwhelmed<br />
with the response last year.<br />
He said his whole lounge was<br />
full of presents donated by the<br />
community and they managed<br />
to give these to more than 300<br />
families.<br />
This year he was hoping to<br />
make the drive even bigger and<br />
better.<br />
Around this time of year,<br />
Webster sees a massive increase<br />
of people needing food as well<br />
as gifts for Christmas to help<br />
get them through the holiday<br />
season.<br />
The food bank is after volunteers<br />
from the community to<br />
donate food and gifts or offer<br />
services such as helping wrap<br />
presents if they weren’t in a position<br />
to donate.<br />
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: Corrin Webster was blown away with how generous the community<br />
were with donations last Christmas. <br />
The families that receive<br />
presents were nominated by the<br />
community and sent a message<br />
to let them know their gift is<br />
ready for them to pick up.<br />
“It’s so good seeing the smile<br />
on people’s faces,” Webster said.<br />
The majority of people<br />
receiving food and gifts were<br />
local. However, Webster said<br />
they’ve offered help to people<br />
as far out as Wainui and Little<br />
River.<br />
The Hoon Hay Community<br />
Association is also on board and<br />
has replaced its carols night with<br />
a final drive for the food bank.<br />
The association is asking for<br />
residents to donate food and<br />
gifts at the community<br />
centre, Hoon Hay Rd, on <strong>December</strong><br />
12 and will have chocolate<br />
treats for the kids and coffee<br />
for the adults.<br />
In Brief<br />
SENSORY PLAYGROUND<br />
Hillmorton High School has<br />
set up a Givealittle page to fund<br />
a new sensory playground to<br />
be built for students with disabilities.<br />
It will be wheelchairaccessible<br />
and include two small<br />
in-ground trampolines, swings<br />
and balance logs. It will be<br />
placed next to the Upland Unit<br />
and purposed to help calm<br />
and self-regulate students’<br />
moods.<br />
FUNDS FOR MURAL<br />
Roimata Food Commons hit<br />
its target of $5000, allowing<br />
the mural painting workshops<br />
to go ahead. Residents of the<br />
community attended the<br />
Saturday workshop to help paint<br />
and prepare the panels of wood<br />
for the mural. There will be<br />
another workshop on Saturday<br />
to continue the work.<br />
BUS ROUTE CHANGES<br />
Public feedback closes on<br />
Sunday for the proposed changes<br />
to bus routes 17 (Bryndwr to<br />
Huntsbury) and 28 (Casebrook<br />
to Lyttelton). Proposed changes<br />
include two new bus routes<br />
made up of a combination of<br />
the routes 17 and 28, increasing<br />
bus frequencies, extending one<br />
route to Christchurch Airport,<br />
improving access to Ara and<br />
Moorhouse Ave retail areas and<br />
supporting higher frequencies<br />
with new electric buses. Go to<br />

Jayne and I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done to get us where<br />
we are today. Bit of a blur really. Every step in the process has gone into<br />
achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and<br />
professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along<br />
with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to<br />
the market. These aspects all set the scene perfectly for the open homes and<br />
visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but<br />
sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.<br />

Creating confidence in adult learners at<br />
HOMESTEAD: The Risingholme Community Centre where<br />
the celebration was held for adult learners,<br />
TEAM: Risingholme’s liaison and marketing co-ordinator<br />
Lenore Wright (left), director Lynda Megson and executive<br />
board president Ildica Boyd.<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AN EVENING for celebrating<br />
newly learned skills was all about<br />
face-to-face interaction.<br />
The Risingholme Community<br />
Centre, based in Opawa, hosted a<br />
social evening in honour of their<br />
adult learners with around 100<br />
people attending.<br />
Liaison and marketing co-ordinator<br />
Lenore Wright said it was a<br />
beautiful evening with the learners<br />
showing off their hard work.<br />
Risingholme’s adult learners<br />
programme is for anyone over<br />
the age of 16 who wants to learn<br />
a new skill and meet people.<br />
They offer 389 courses in 70<br />
subjects, from sewing and pottery<br />
to languages and writing,<br />
even upcycling furniture.<br />
The programme usually sees<br />
800 learners enrolled per term.<br />
Each term runs for eight weeks,<br />
however due to Covid the latest<br />
term ran for six weeks but still<br />
saw nearly 700 learners enrolled.<br />
Wright said Risingholme was<br />
always open to setting up new<br />
courses if someone had a skill<br />
they would like to develop.<br />
Organisers were also exploring<br />
branching out into other areas<br />
like tech classes, focusing on<br />
coding and business analysis.<br />
Wright said the programme<br />
was all about helping people gain<br />
confidence with learning in a<br />
social environment.<br />
“There’s a social benefit of<br />
being together and having that<br />
sense of community.” she said.<br />

Who Lived There?<br />
the stories Behind Historic new Zealand Buildings<br />
By nicola mccloy and Jane King<br />
You can’t help but wonder about the stories behind the unusual buildings<br />
you see around New Zealand - from cute colonial cottages to abandoned<br />
industrial buildings or ghost towns. Nicola McCloy went looking to find out ...<br />
who lived there?<br />
From basic stone cottages in barren-looking countryside to pretty coastal<br />
villas, romantic churches and small-town taverns, New Zealand is full of<br />
buildings whose back stories have been lost over the generations. With<br />
beautiful photographs by Jane King, supplemented with historic shots to<br />
show how little or how much some of these places have changed.<br />
Victory over Death<br />
the art of colin mccahon<br />
by rex Butler and laurence simmons<br />
Perhaps at the origin of all thinking about culture lies the question of the afterlife. The<br />
artist makes their work hoping that it will live on after their death. The critic reads or<br />
looks at the work wondering whether a future audience will engage with it. Victory<br />
over Death: The Art of Colin McCahon takes up this question of the afterlife of the<br />
work of art by looking at the work of the New Zealand painter Colin McCahon, who<br />
is often described as one of the most important Australasian artists of the twentieth<br />
century. Imagine for a moment being a great artist in faraway and culturally<br />
marginal New Zealand in the 1950s. The audience for your work does not yet exist.<br />
You are destined to die unknown. So, what does McCahon do? He makes work -<br />
as do all the artists we remember - for a future audience.<br />
In the Company of Gardeners<br />
inspirational Gardens and inspired Gardeners of new<br />
Zealand<br />
by Juliet nicholas<br />
Magnificent gardens of different types from all around New Zealand, with entertaining<br />
stories on their origin, inspiration and development - all stunningly photographed.<br />
From lush regenerating native bush, through formal gardens and heritage fruit trees, to<br />
community gardens and a dry garden in Central Otago, there is a place here to inspire<br />
everyone. The stories of their inspirational founders and developers are told simply<br />
and informatively, and bring the gardens to life. Several of the gardens have been<br />
developed by siblings, partners or families, all drawing strength and ideas from each<br />
other. After reading this book you won’t know which urge is stronger - to get outside<br />
and do some gardening, or plan a tour of inspirational gardens of New Zealand.<br />
Soldiers: Great Stories of War and Peace<br />
by max Hastings<br />
Soldiers is a collection of the very best stories about soldiers. In his almost<br />
sixty years of military study and his work in the midst of modern conflicts<br />
as a foreign correspondent, these are the stories that left a mark. In these<br />
pages you will find heroes and cowards; triumphs, tragedies and comedies.<br />
It illustrates, mostly through people’s own words, what it’s been like to fight<br />
in wars, to live and die as a warrior, from Greek and Roman times through to<br />
today’s Iraq and Afghanistan. There are more than 300 stories in all, and an<br />
astounding variety of soldiers’ experiences through the ages. This is a book<br />
that might make you feel as grateful that whatever the troubles of our own<br />
times, we are spared the mud and blood and anguish, if also the moments<br />
of glory, that the soldiers in these pages bring so vividly to life.<br />

AVID: The C Pups under-6 team<br />
reading the B.R.E.A.D book<br />
together, and their coach Brendan<br />
Nolan. Nolan also coaches the<br />
Christchurch seniors, the seniors<br />
sevens and Waitaha Matua, the<br />
Canterbury Maori men’s team.<br />
• From page 1<br />
What began as having the team read for<br />
15 minutes before training morphed into a<br />
new way of coaching, connecting and teaching<br />
kids some important life lessons.<br />
With Bread and Butter, Nolan endeavours<br />
to go beyond just coaching rugby<br />
skills. It’s about teaching kids the foundations<br />
of being a good person – the ‘bread<br />
and butter’ of life.<br />
The C Pups, who all attend Heathcote<br />
Valley School, spend 15 minutes before<br />
training reading a book of their choice<br />
with their parents and caregivers.<br />
After every game, the player of the day is<br />
presented with the B.R.E.A.D book, which<br />
they can take home and write a story in<br />
it about their experiences of rugby so far.<br />
They present it to the team the following<br />
week and then pass the book onto the next<br />
player of the day.<br />
“It’s something that keeps them involved<br />
longer than say just half an hour after the<br />
game, something to be proud of,” Nolan,<br />
who works for the Lyttelton Port Company,<br />
said.<br />
Bread and Butter is not just for rugby.<br />
“It’s just the principles of being good<br />
people. In rugby, they say good people<br />
make good rugby players. But don’t wait<br />
until they’re 20, why don’t we start putting<br />
this to the kids when they’re young.”<br />
“If they get their bread and butter right,<br />
they can go from there. It’s giving them the<br />
opportunity from a young age.”<br />
The programme isn’t just for the kids – it<br />
also connects parents and caregivers.<br />

Many Summerset residents I speak with enjoy that their housing<br />

THE C PUPS: Charlie St John (left), Mason Boyd, Odin Hanekom, Hoani Nolan, Leo Anderson and Edward<br />
Hanekom. Before training sessions, both children and parents spend 15 minutes reading.<br />
‘I’ve seen them grow as people’<br />
• From page 7<br />
Jenna Timoti’s six year-old son Mason<br />
Boyd has played two seasons for the C<br />
Pups. Timoti said Mason is a very capable<br />
reader, but getting him to read was a<br />
chore. Bread and Butter helped Mason see<br />
reading as something that’s just part of<br />
training.<br />
Timoti said she has seen a difference<br />
in her son’s behaviour since he has been<br />
coached by Nolan.<br />
“Mason is someone who is easily<br />
distracted and needs structure. I can see<br />
a difference in his confidence, he’s so<br />
determined and the values he has learned<br />
have made him more empathetic. He’s a<br />
lot more caring,” she said.<br />
Similarly, Heathcote Valley School<br />
principal Bruce Ellison said he has seen<br />
a change in the kids since they have been<br />
coached by Nolan.<br />
“I’ve seen them grow as<br />
people and I’ve seen their relationships<br />
with each other grow,” said Ellison.<br />
“It’s a no brainer, why haven’t we been<br />
doing something like this all along?”<br />
Nolan said a programme like this would<br />
have made him look at rugby differently.<br />
“When I was playing, it was just about<br />
showing up and playing the game, but I<br />
think this is more of a deeper connection.”<br />
Nolan wants that connection to be<br />
fostered.<br />
“It teaches kids to care for the area, the<br />
grounds, care for the opposition and each<br />
other. It’s contagious and its something<br />
that needs to be nurtured,” he said.<br />
Nolan wants to break down the club<br />
versus club mentality, and connect<br />
coaches as well.<br />
Mainland Football interim chief<br />
executive Martin Dodgsonloves the idea<br />
of Bread and Butter and believes most<br />
sports face the same challenges.<br />
“We love the concept and the story<br />
behind it . . . The concept of giving kids<br />
ownership over what they do,” he said.<br />
Dodgson thinks Bread and Butter<br />
captures the essence of sport.<br />
“Sport teaches us lessons and those<br />
lessons can be hidden deep but [Brendan]<br />
brings these lessons to the surface,” he said.<br />
“The scoreboard would suggest who the<br />
winner or loser is, but this teaches kids<br />
what a real ‘winner’ is and what success<br />
looks like.”<br />
Nolan now hopes to take the coaching<br />
programme Canterbury-wide and has had<br />
positive feedback from clubs and other<br />
sports organisations.<br />

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas<br />
Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming<br />
traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make<br />
the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around<br />
everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish.<br />

You will need:<br />
• 1 ½ tbsp butter<br />

The next day:<br />

pot of water, just deep enough<br />
so the bowl doesn’t float.<br />
• Boil pudding for four hours and<br />
check regularly to make sure<br />
the water has boiled dry. Top<br />
up carefully with extra water if<br />
required.<br />

New Beckford<br />
Health Hub the<br />
‘ideal location’<br />
for Helios Health<br />
A new Health Centre in Christchurch is intended to be a<br />
space where a multitude of services including GPs, Nurse<br />
Prescribers/Nurses, Pharmacists and Therapists can come<br />
together into a brand-new, purpose-built Health Centre.<br />
Helios Health is moving at the end of this<br />
year into the new Beckford Health premises<br />
being built in the suburb of St Martins.<br />
The new practice will be called Beckford<br />
Health and will be sharing the space with a<br />
pharmacy.<br />
The new clinic includes 8 consult rooms,<br />
with a state-of-the-art design to support<br />
the practice of healing-oriented medicine.<br />
The foundations of the model are not<br />
limited to medical or health; continuity of<br />
care, community wellbeing and improving<br />
outcomes for patients are key objectives of<br />
this new venture.<br />
The clinic will provide a wide range<br />
of primary care health services. General<br />
Practitioner services will continue to be<br />
provided by Dr Donald Palmer and Dr Edd<br />
Wright, with Dr Harriet Murray joining the<br />
team in January 2<strong>02</strong>2.<br />
Furthermore, the practice has a very<br />
experienced team of nurses, with Nurse<br />
Prescriber Rosie Shakespeare joining the<br />
team in August.<br />
Clinical Director, Dr Donald Palmer says<br />
it’s about people feeling welcome, and able to<br />

building will take on a new role as a teaching<br />
space for the Christchurch Rudolf Steiner<br />
School.<br />
