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 />

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 Dodgson​loves 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 />

mixed fruit.<br />

The next day:<br />

• Place mixture into a greased<br />

bowl or ice-cream container,<br />

cover with tinfoil and place in a<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 />

• Serve with heaps of Chantilly<br />

cream!<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 />
