HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Leeston Day Club has turned 5 years old. This month 5 years ago a group of ladies had a meeting under the guidance of Dianne Chesmar, who was then working for the Selwyn District Council. This was to be the start of the first day club to be set up in the Selwyn District and was seen as a prototype for Rolleston and Lincoln. These ladies grabbed the vision that Dianne had for setting up a service for the elderly in the Leeston/Southbridge area.
This group consisted of Ann Catto, Kaye Nish, June Barton and Noeline Bowis, all of whom are still very involved in the club. Day Club provides a cooked 2 course meal and social interaction and connection. Often a game of cards takes place; always Bingo, exercises, music and a variety of speakers are part of the programme that is put together by this wonderful team of 11 volunteers for our older population. They get 35 to 40 people along on a regular

The day club has proved its worth for several older people who were red zoned in Christchurch and sought refuge out in the Selwyn
district. They have found a valued connection within the day club and have formed strong and enduring friendships. The Mayor, Kelvin Coe, was on hand at this week’s celebrations to present Ann and the team with bouquets of flowers and acknowledge the hard work that these ladies do and their contribution they make to this community.

LEESTON UNDER 8.5 TAKE OUT 7’S TOURNAMENT A very inexperienced under 8.5 team represented the Leeston RFC at the Ellesmere JAB 7’s Tournament this year, and performed well beyond their experience. The Tournament this year was held very early in the season and therefore the majority of the team had played 2 games or less in tackle grades. However, the inexperience helped the kids with the lack of expectation and pressure allowing the kids to just go and have fun, and have fun they did! The mixture of the team played well together, with the big boys up front controlling the games and providing ample possession on the front foot for the speedsters out wider to score some blistering tries and at the same time proving hard to stop themselves. The most pleasing aspect was the never lay down approach the boys took to defence with numerous try saving tackles to keep them in the games. The final, as all finals should be, proved to be a thriller. It was a come from behind win and the final and deciding try being scored on the hooter, with a desperate try scored out wide whilst dragging the defender over the line. Well done boys, you have a big future ahead of you!!

CALLING ALL INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CHEFS!!! · MAGGI Kitchen Showdown entries for 2014 are now open, and close 4 July 2014 · Teams must consist of four students from year 7 and/or year 8 · To register or for information visit, www.kitchenshowdown.co .nz Now in its fifth year, the MAGGI Kitchen Showdown is back and the call is out to all intermediate students across the country to register a team of four and get in the kitchen to start cooking up a storm. The intermediate school cooking competition provides an excellent opportunity for budding chefs to shine in the kitchen and learn all about cooking delicious, nutritious and affordable meals. The regional finals (Upper North Island, Lower North Island and South Island) and national final will be screening on the brand new The 4.30 Show on TV2 later this year, giving kids the opportunity to become celebrity chefs for a day. Richard Brogan from the MAGGI Kitchen and competition judge says the competition is a really
fun way to get the next generation of home cooks in the kitchen and interested in cooking. “Every year gets harder and harder to judge. The standard of cooking talent is amazing and kids come up with more creative meals and ways of cooking. I’m really excited to see what meal creations the teams come up with this year!” says Richard. Last year, the Upper North Island team from Springbank School in Kerikeri took out the top prize of $5,000 for their school, with Plimmerton School from Wellington and Outram School in Otago taking up the runner-up spots and winning their schools $1,000 respectively. Each team must create their very own recipe, with a few key requirements. The meal must: - be a main course meal and be able to serve a family of 4 people (2 adults+2 children). - cost a maximum of $20 t o m a k e . - include the use of one MAGGI product. - be able to be made and plated up in 50mins (but not quicker than 40mins).

Jack Pearcy receiving the donation on behalf of St John from Janice, Brenda and Rose representing the Leeston Marketeers.
We’ve certainly had a mixed bag over the past few weeks weather wise. One day it’s t-shirt and shorts, the next our first frost and amidst it all so much rain that the ground just can’t dry out. Through it all, you’ll still find the Leeston Marketeers on High Street on the first and third Saturday of every month. The Leeston Market is a community farmers’ and craft market and we endeavour to support our community and give back however we can. In that spirit it was our very great pleasure to be able to make our first donation of $500 to our local St John. The Leeston Market Chairperson, Janice Speirs, presented the cheque to Jack Pearcy, the retiring Chairman of St John Ellesmere. The new Chairman, taking over at the end of July will
be John Sunckell. St John, as a charity, is always in need of community support and at $20K to upgrade each ambulance it’s easy to see why, and that is just one area of need. To save lives and be there for us, we need to support St John. Every donation is of value, both large and small. It’s easy to help, by joining the St John Supporter Scheme, not only do you help your own family but you are helping our community family as well. Just $65 can join your entire family for a year. That’s less than the cost of a third of a cup of coffee a week. As a supporter, your donation is kept locally but the service of St John is available to you anywhere in New Zealand that you require it. There is no need to wait.
The Leeston Marketeers challenge families and businesses in Ellesmere to become St John Supporters. Help us to save lives! It’s time to GIVE BACK - www.stjohn.org.nz A new addition to the Leeston Market are the ladies from St David’s Cooperating Church with good pre-loved clothing. This is a fundraiser for World Mission projects which allows the Church community to give back. So before you go to the department stores and lighten your wallet, there are bargains to be had at the Leeston Market, and you will be helping others at the same time. If you have any good clothing that you don’t need any more, donations are gratefully received. Our upcoming markets are June the 7th and then the Winter Solstice Market on June 21st. Some ‘happy shopper’ will receive a surprise gift so make sure
you are at the Leeston Market. That lucky person could just be you. We have space over the upcoming months for more stall holders. If you are fundraising, please contact us. It would be great to have a sausage sizzle or hot soup for those chillier mornings. Email us atleeston.farmersmarket@g mail.com and LIKE us at www.facebook.com/ leestonmarket.

Me Kōrero Mo Te Hauora Hinengaro (Let’s talk about mental health), Brigette Gorman How good are you at taking care of yourself? What gets in the way of looking after your physical health (i.e., exercise, nutrition, relaxation) and ultimately your mental health? Are you stressed out, sad, anxious, or angry? Are you drinking too much or smoking or engaging in other self-destructive behaviour? The types of answers I get to these questions are: But I am too busy looking after everyone else to take time for myself. I am too tired. I don’t have enough time. I don’t care. I don’t matter. I will start next week, next month, next year. But I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I had the time. I need that drink to escape, avoid, cope with ..... To quote (or misquote) a phrase from one of my favourite television shows “Offspring,” “You are obligated to take care of yourself to those who love and care about you”. In other words, even if you care little about your own health, think of making the right behavioural choices so that you can stick around long enough for the people who love and need you. It is your responsibility and not the responsibility of others to make the right kinds of choices. This applies to taking care of your physical health, which directly impacts your mental health to ensure the best quality of life. Your loved ones deserve the best possible you and so do you! We all mess up from time to time, it is more important to keep working towards physical and mental wellness. Forgive yourself and start again. An analogy I often use with parents in relation to self-care is “if you were on an aeroplane with your children and the emergency lights came on and oxygen masks dropped down, what would you do first? Put the mask on yourself or your children? Many parents answer that they would put that the masks on their children first but this is incorrect. If you were to try to do
this you would probably pass out from lack of oxygen and be no good to anyone. So the correct answer is to first put your own mask on and then tend to your children so that you can be of use to them. This scenario is analogous to parenting in that in order to be the best parent that you can be for your children you need to be taking care of yourself. Okay you say “that is all well and good but I don’t have time...” and to this comment I would tackle this problem with some time management. Make a diary of your week and a list of all of your commitments. How are you spending your time? What time do you have free? If you have little time free then you may need to ask for some help from a family member or friend to complete your tasks or to help with childcare. You may need some assertiveness skills to say “no” to some requests. What takes up the most time in your week? Is there an easier way or more efficient way to complete these tasks? Can others help you? Conduct a survey, what do other people do to find time to look after themselves? In order to find the time to engage in self-care activities you may need to do some time management and some problemsolving. Problem solving involves, firstly reframing the problem into a format that facilitates the generation of solutions. Sometimes reframing the problem reveals several problems which need to be dealt with one by one. For example, “How can I cut down meal preparation times to give me more time to myself...?”or “How can I fit exercise into my day with work and travel time”. The second step in problemsolving is to brainstorm and generate solutions. In order to help with creativity, don’t evaluate the solutions at this stage, just write
down anything that comes to mind, no matter how silly it may seem because this opens up ideas to other creative solutions. Step three is to consider the short and long term advantages and disadvantages to each solution. The fourth step involves choosing a solution and planning to implement it. The fifth step is to evaluate how it went and if it didn’t go well, go back to the initial list of solutions and choose another to try. In summary, when people tell me that they do not have enough time to take care of themselves, I rarely accept this explanation. I would work with them to find time because this is an essential step in self-care. We might also consider what we need to be doing more and less of. In terms of physical health, this might mean that we are not exercising enough, we are avoiding important medical checkups, we are not eating nutritional and balanced meals, we are drinking too much alcohol, we are drinking too many stimulant drinks (e.g., coffee, tea, “energy drinks”) and smoking. Some of these problems may require professional help to get on top of and I would recommend that you approach your GP to discuss options for professional help for quitting smoking, addressing problems with alcohol and generally to get a health check up before engaging in any exercise programme. We are also very fortunate in Leeston to have the wonderful Physiotherapists here to help with designing an appropriate physical exercise programme. In terms of drinking too much, unfortunately I think that our culture normalises overdrinking. Overdrinking has many physical and mental health implications. In case you are unclear about the health recommendations for alcohol consumption then the ALAC guidelines (http://HYPERLINK "http://
tinyurl.com/psknsdp"tinyurl.com/ psknsdp) recommend a maximum of two standard drinks per day for women and three standard drinks per day for men as well as at least two alcohol free days per week. I have seen reports in the media that suggest that women should drink only one standard drink per day and men two. It is also important to be honest with yourself about the size of your glasses. I have many clients report that they drink “two glasses” of wine per day and upon further questioning about the amount of wine left in the bottle, that really they have drunken half a bottle of wine which may fit into two large glasses but is essentially 4-5 standard drinks. If you are regularly drinking more than the recommended amount then it is likely to be having an impact on your physical health (http://tinyurl.com/kxymxwn) and very likely your mental health (http://tinyurl.com/oo29hh5). Drinking too much can negatively influence your sleep (http:// tinyurl.com/n3s9mdw), your mood causing depressive and anxiety symptoms and irritability and on your energy levels and motivation. Over the longer term it can cause cognitive problems, problems with mental clarity and memory. If you are having problems with moderating alcohol consumption then it is also important to consider “why” you drink. What is the function of this behaviour? If it is to avoid or escape particular feelings then there are more helpful and functional methods for dealing with distress. To develop these strategies, you may need professional guidance. If you are drinking to de-stress, then again you may want to adopt some other strategies which are better for your overall health, less expensive and more functional. For instance, relaxation strategies (http://tinyurl.com/kg59fgr) and strategies to reduce your overall physiological arousal such as exercise help with stress manage-
11
ment. If some of your poor choices are due to habit then you may need help in either breaking or developing a new habit. I often recommend the 30 day challenge (http:// tinyurl.com/mbaejbb) to people which involves doing something (or not doing something) every day for 30 days. For example, if you want to make eating fruit a habit you might commit to eating 2 pieces of fruit (or whatever your goal is) everyday for 30 days. If you miss a day, that is okay, you just have to make up for it the following day and eat 4 pieces of fruit. While I have been discussing the importance of making time and making good behavioural choices it is also really important to emphasise the importance of engaging in regular events/activities that give you a sense of pleasure and a sense of purpose. Pleasant event scheduling is an excellent treatment for depression (http://tinyurl.com/ kb75y3j) and in general is important for enjoying and surviving one’s life. If you are regularly engaging in pleasurable and achievement orientated activities you are probably going to be happier and be the best version of you to be there for others. I also often ask people to imagine that they are they have been given a week to live and on their deathbed, what would they regret not having done in their lives. Usually people do not say “I wish I had worked more”. Let this idea/image guide you in making positive changes and including rewarding activities into your daily life. I have said a lot but there is so much to say about self-care. I hope that from this article you take away the idea that self-care is fundamentally important but takes hard work, time, planning, assertiveness, good choices and honesty. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself and enjoy your life. After all, none of us want to die with regrets about how we spent our time here.

SOUTHBRIDGE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB CLUB DAY 2014 The Southbridge Rugby Club is looking forward to holding their club day this Saturday the 24th of May and this year it is also a special weekend for the club with the 20th Anniversary of the Southbridge Eels Golden Oldies. The Anniversary Celebrations kick off on the Friday night from 5pm in the Clubrooms and run throughout the whole weekend so no doubt this will be an action packed weekend for all those attending and great to have this coincide with our club day. Club days are a really special rugby day for all club members as it is the only time during the season when all teams get to play at home together and for young and old these days are very important for all clubs. We will have 11 teams playing at home on club day from our Rippa Rugby Grades (U7) right through to our 2 Senior sides Div 1 & Div 2 and then of course our Golden Oldies playing on the Sunday, not a bad effort from a small country town the size of Southbridge. But with great support from
around the wider community as well, to be able to field a Div 1 & Div 2 side from a club our size is pretty special and with the continued growth in our JAB numbers our club is looking in pretty good shape. Off the field as well our club membership has grown hugely in the last 2 to 3 years as people are finding the SRFC a great place to catch up and also watch some very entertaining rugby being played at the club. So come along on club day and watch some great rugby being played from U7 through to Senior. The Division 1 game kicks off at 2.45pm and is shaping up to be a huge battle with Southbridge playing Methven. Both teams are sitting at the top of the table so this should be a fascinating game, but get there early and watch the clubs future stars in action as well. You just never know who could be about on the day. BLUE & WHITE PRIDE SINCE 1876
SELWYN BURT TQ CLASSIC Jeremy Webb rounded out the Ellesmere season in a convincing style to take out the Selwyn Burt TQ Classic. This title, while started when Selwyn was still a member of the club, is now run as a very much favoured memorial meeting in his honour for the contributions he made to Ellesmere and speedway in general. Webb finished third in the first heat then completed the next two from the third back grid and from the back of the field as the finishing order was reversed for each heat. He won both these heats while the battle for the minor places raged between the Bailey brothers Scot and Lyndsay and Liam McCoulbrey. Scott had a poor second heat while Lyndsay finished near the front of the field both times. McCoulbrey had to contend with Glen Milroy in the #36 car who became a bit of a spoiler with some excellent racing. L Bailey and McCoulbrey were left tied on points. A four lap run off was very even with both commanding some of the front running until McCoulbrey lost it on the end of the third lap. Webb, Lyndsay Bailey from McCoulbrey filled the podium this year.
Once again Ellesmere continued with the gridded up restarts throughout the meeting. It was a real pleasure to see how a stymied race can come back to life with the fields closed up as opposed to the old Indian file restart, where anybody mid or rear of the field is really eliminated from the running. Some excellent support racing was witnessed with the midgets on show. Nelson’s Neville Basalaj had a short meeting as his power unit cried foul with a puff or two of smoke, while Graham Sharp was involved with a spectacular crash ending in the front straight. Gary Chadwick had the Honda flying and was very lucky not to join Sharpie on the trailer when clipping the Armco railing. It was a fantastic save. The running of the wingless modified sprints of Tom Lumsden and Ben Gilmore made the class interesting and it was Scott Millar who had his hands full with everyone keeping each other honest. This is the way to go with smaller fields and perhaps Ellesmere is the only place where these things appear to be possible without any friction.
¼ midgets saw Jack Low in his new car edge out Ben Morgan and Tyler Warnock while Sam Begbie had a good final race. Production’s Roy Harrison was the man to beat here while Brian Humm made good his return to the 6 cylinder sprint class with his main opposition coming from Robbie Stubbs and Rusty Liddell. Jason Fletcher had the best of Rodney McWhirter with Logan Tomlin timing in the stock car class. It was good to see a mixture of stocks at Ellesmere. A big field of MX bikes entertained again with two divisions. In division one it was Dean Baird, Jason and Nick Korstanje, Brendan Wilson and Scot Meadows who regularly appeared at the front of the fields. In the second group two that will be heading up shortly in the names of Stacey and James were front runners. Josh Brown was pushing hard as was the second rider sharing the #249 Feary bike. This was good way to end the season as Ellesmere takes a break until the 14th of September.
