Happy New Year! Hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas! I’m actually writing this before Christmas... And sadly, things seem a little bit up in the air again, but let’s see what happens. I’m sure we’d all much rather be going into the new year with positivity, so I’m trying to be optimistic!

As usual, we have lots of information in this issue about local businesses, which really do need our support more than ever, as well as local news and events. All are correct at the time of going to print, but it’s always worth double checking with venues to make sure things are still going ahead. Take care and we’ll see you in February.

If you have been finding yourself worrying more than usual, we have some practical tips for managing day-to-day worries on pages 24-25. Mental health for many is at an all-time low, so please, do talk to someone if you are struggling, there is help available, and sometimes just starting that conversation can really help.

Happy New Year to you all and may 2022 be a healthy and happy one! As we write this, Christmas is literally just around the corner but by the time you read it it will all be a dim and distant memory! It’s strange to think that it is only two years since we all first heard the dreaded COVID 19 word. Whilst it has obviously been an unprecedented and difficult time, it has also been a time when communities have come together and proved that they are stronger than ever before as we have seen time and time again in Southgate.

As a group, we have received several emails and phone calls lately from concerned residents about Rougham Hill - specifically the litter and general scruffiness as you head up
increased litter picks in the area and are looking at trimming some of the overgrown shrubs and possibly installing more bins, which will hopefully make a difference.
If you are a charity, a group or a good cause and are in need of funding then please ask us about our locality budgets.

FOOD BANK
Thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Food Bank collection and came and donated in December. Thanks to you we were able to support families in need at what can be an especially difficult time of the year. A special thank you also to Southgate Church who donated £100 so that we could buy fresh ingredients to supply alongside the dried and canned goods. A reminder that there is always a collection point inside the Southgate Community Centre for the church foodbank so if you are in a position to and would like to, please feel free to drop off non-perishable items next time you are passing.
CONTACT US
All County, District and Town councillors are given a pot of money to spend on good causes/initiatives across their area and we have seen some fantastic results in Southgate by using ours. Contact details are at the top of this page if you would like to know more.
If you have an issue with pavement or road defects, overgrown bushes or shrubs, damaged or missing road signs or street lights or blocked drains or flooding in the Highways, did you know that you can easily report it online at www.suffolk.gov.uk? This is the same portal that we use as councillors and by reporting directly it means that you get notification of when the request has been actioned and up to date details. It is by far the quickest and easiest way to report an issue.

Healthy Resolutions
18 | JANUARY 2022

34
When you cook at home (or pack up your lunch), it’s easier to eat better because you have full control over what’s served and how it’s made. This particular goal leaves you some flexibility to eat out on the weekends, or grab lunch with your colleagues on a Friday (of course, you can modify the days of the week to match your personal schedule). Make sure you’re including a lean protein and plenty of vegetables at each meal.
Replace your snacks with whole foods
Prep healthy lunches and dinners at home sunday through to thursday
Create a healthier default for your least healthy habit
Resolutions for the New Year!
12
JANUARY 2022 | 19
The word snack tends to be synonymous with packaged foods, which are typically higher in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fat than unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Rather than nibbling on biscuits, crackers, crisps, and nutritional bars (even the healthier brands), reach for whole food alternatives like a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, yoghurt, or cut veggies with or without a healthy dip. These snacks are more nutritious and more filling than most packaged snacks.
Zero in on the one eating pattern that tends to do the most damage to your diet (and has the most excess calories). Is it late-night eating, alcohol, your daily coffee shop visits, huge portions at dinner, lavish restaurant meals, or a stubborn sweet tooth? Now, create a plan to solve that particular issue. If you love dessert, maybe your plan is to have fresh fruit with whipped cream six days a week, and a special treat on the seventh day. If pastries and coffee drinks are costing you hundreds of calories a day, change your daily order to a skimmed latte and a banana. Consider this nutrition triage — by targeting your worst food habit, you’ll have a significant impact on your overall diet, while causing minimal disruption to your routine.
Make vegetables a top priority
If you struggle with eating enough produce, this is the ideal issue to target in the new year. A simple starter goal is to add at least 1 portion of veggies to lunch and 2 portions to dinner. At lunch, supplement your usual sandwich or soup with a cup of baby carrots or bell pepper strips or a side salad. At dinner, pile on the roasted, sautéed, or steamed veggies. Some of our favourites are sautéed spinach, roasted cauliflower or parsnips, baked sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli or green beans.

While sweets can cause you to have a sugar high and crash, researchers have found that a little chocolate can be beneficial for worriers. Dark chocolate can help calm your nerves.
BREATHE SLOWLY Deep breathing, also called yoga breathing, is known to lower stress and anxiety. To use when you are feeling upset.
First, exhale completely through your mouth, then inhale through your nose for a count of four. Hold your breath for seven seconds, then exhale through your mouth for a count of eight. It’s not possible to breathe deeply and be anxious at the same time, use the 4-7-8 breath technique at least twice a day or whenever you feel stressed.
Getting your emotions down on paper sounds like it could fuel anxieties, but the activity has the opposite effect. You reassess that situation so that you’re not as likely to worry about those situations because you’ve slain that beast.
Walking in the woods and listening to the sounds of nature can reduce stress. This can lower stress hormone levels more compared with walking in an urban area.

A golden thread running through the articles over the last 15 years has been how we can help our own wildlife. Wildlife gardening hints were common, such as keeping dead wood, digging a pond, what type of charcoal for your barbecue is least damaging, and how to encourage various butterflies into your garden. There was a series of articles about the history of Moreton Hall, from a geographic and wildlife view.

Take that one step forward and feel part of something. The group is about the people and it is the people who make the group what it is today. Come along and be enveloped in the warmth of friendship and know that you are not alone. No referral necessary. Carers, partners and guest visitors are welcome.


Living with chronic pain can be extremely tough on mental health, relationships, emotions and those close to you. Stress can trigger pain, intensify the experiences and make it harder to live with. There are ways of coping that can be effective for reducing pain. Seeking out techniques that aid relaxation can be helpful, even keeping active helps increase strength, improve blood flow and release ‘feel good’ chemicals in the brain to reduce pain and boost wellbeing. Living with pain can be traumatic and isolating so pacing yourself and having coping strategies in place are vital. Setting your own goals, taking time for yourself, being

We have loads more ideas at ecofrenzy.com to help our wonderful world. Always think, every little helps.
b) you will need to leave the heating on for longer
ecofrenzy15 @ecofrenzy /ecofrenzy
Comparison of efficiency between new and old homes
Is your old boiler coming to the end of it’s life? Time to look for a change. Our government is encouraging us to move to greener options. One of their suggestions is air source heat pumps. This month we will give a short guide to this relatively new form of heating.
A heat pump can be used to extract far more energy from the heat source (the air) than it consumes. Heat pumps are measured according to their coefficient of performance or COP (not to be confused with the recent Climate change conference in Glasgow COP 26) and typically produce a COP of 2.5-3.5. That means a heat pump using 1 kWh of electrical energy can deliver say 3.0 kWh of heat. In the right circumstances air source heat pumps can reduce bills and lower greenhouse gas emissions, but this is not the case in all properties. Air source heat pumps work at lower temperatures than gas boilers, generally around 50C instead of 60C, they also take longer to heat your home.
Efficiency
c) you will need to use an immersion heater once a day to increase your hot water tank to 60C to remove the possibility of Legionella disease
EcoFrenzy is a not-for-profit organisation founded by Tony Whittingham. If you have any queries please visit www.ecofrenzy.com/contact-us or email tony@ecofrenzy.com
a) you may need a secondary heat source
2. In an older home, air source heat pumps can work efficiently but you may need to upgrade the home’s insulation as well as installing larger radiators and bigger pipework to compensate for the lower water temperature.
This means:
Firstly what is it? – This illustration gives you the basics of how air source heat pumps work ie. the pump takes in air from the outside, compresses the air and releases it at a higher temperature. This hot air is used to heat water in a tank for home heating and hot water through pipes and radiators or can be used as a source for underfloor heating.
1. They work best in new homes which are properly insulated with underfloor heating. If you are using a renewable electricity source then carbon emissions can be reduced to zero.
JANUARY’S LOOK AT AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Over the next few years oil and gas boilers will be phased out but right now we need to make sure we are making the correct choice for our homes. Good luck.
3. In old leaky houses air source heat pumps will probably not work efficiently.
As you can see air source heat pumps in the right home can be efficient, save money and reduce your carbon footprint. But we suggest you have a proper survey carried out by an accredited company to check if your home is suitable. The government is also helping with grants and other incentives to reduce installation and upgrade costs.

of this New Year, when there is so much uncertainty, I think people need the reassurance of what Jesus has done for them on the cross and the prospect of a better life beyond the grave. Therefore, I hope this book will be a great help to you if you read it.

and rise again to show us that death is not the end and there is a special life beyond the grave for people who put their trust in Him. This is probably one of the most important pieces of information any human gets to understand. Everybody is concerned about what happens to us after death and sadly the Christian church in our age isn’t saying enough about it. That is why I have written this book. In this novel Charlie Vaughan goes to heaven and then in a supernatural body returns to Earth. He is then asked to go down into Hell to help somebody from being drawn into it. All through the book there is information that I believe is relevant to the way we lead our lives now.
A Day in the Death of Charlie Vaughan. One of the central planks of Jesus’ coming is to die
The book has already been read by some celebrities who have been happy to endorse it publicly. The Public launch of the book will take place
at the Cathedral on Sunday morning, 23rd January, when I will be there to sign copies for those who want them as well as to preach at the service and explain more about the book. See the Website: jotham1957.co.uk/https:// for more details and to buy a copy.
I would like to begin by wishing everyone a happy New Year. In the Christian church we are now in what is called the season of Epiphany.

But as we enter 2022, I wonder if we might become known as the Heads-Down Generation? Because today, people of all ages seem addicted to their phones, don’t they?
YOUR LOCAL CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY CENTRE
We are organising a major event at The Apex on Tuesday 15 February with the renowned Christian singer/songwriter. Graham Kendrick. It will be a very special evening which could change your life. Full details on facing page. CHURCH NEWS We wish everyone in our local community a very precious New Year. Come along and sample us at one of our regular activities.
Sociologists love to give every generation a name. For example, they labelled people born in the 1950’s Baby-boomers. This was because soldiers came home from the war and for some reason the birth rate went up. Those born in the 1960’s, were called Generation X, whilst those born in the 90’s, were called Millennials.

Which should result in me spending more time praying. It will also mean reading the bible each morning and looking up what it says about how to stay hopeful, joyful and purposeful (as it does in Hebrews 12:1-3, for example). And this year, when I’m with people, instead of getting distracted by What’s App, I’m going to try to keep looking up and giving my friends my full attention. Which should improve all my So,relationships.in2022,try
you’re less addicted to your phone than this sad ‘X-er’, but whatever your generation, you’d probably admit that you spend too much time looking down. Which as we all know, doesn’t improve our mental health.
generation a ‘heads up’. For me, this will mean beginning each day by looking up and fixing my eyes on God.
In fact, if we spend too much time on our phones, it can lead to an imbalance in our lives. Meaning that we take too little exercise and don’t invest enough time in our important relationships. And that even when we do spend time with our friends, often, we’re too easily distracted by the rings and pings. In short, our phones can encourage us to be too self-absorbed. Perhaps that’s why they’re called i-phones.
I recently received a notification, telling me that last week I spent an average of 5 hours 32 minutes a day, on my phone. After I got over the shock, I rationalised it by reminding myself that I use my phone to write emails and to send texts to work colleagues… that I also use my phone as a Sat

SWING: Make your normal swing and finish in a balanced position watching another good shot.

THE 19TH HOLE
ON COURSE: When you’re on the course you can still use this drill by imagining the ball being there both in practice swings and real shots. This simple drill has helped me and others over many years, I often use it in warm ups to make sure the swing isn’t being rushed into position early in my swing. Why not give it ago the next time you are having a practice.

What GOLFING New Years resolution have you made to improve your golf for 2022?

COACHES CORNER – EVERYONE LOVES A TAKEAWAY
The American Express
Welcome back to the 19th hole and HAPPY NEW YEAR. Here’s hoping we all stay healthy and happy this year and that we can play some good golf along the way.
There are so many wonderful courses around the UK that I am lucky enough to be able to play and compete in some amazing competitions - Let’s do it!
BY ADAM TRETT, PGA PROFESSIONAL GOLF COACH THE SUFFOLK GOLF CLUB
EUROPEAN TOUR
This month we look at TAKEAWAY’S, this has nothing to do with your favourite weekend orders but more the early movement in your golf swing. So many of us (me included) get this first movement either a little quick, inside or picked up and this can (not for everyone) cause issues into the backswing or downswing.
So it’s at this time of year that we all made some new year’s resolutions of things we would like to do more or better this year. I have made a golfing resolution this year… mine is to play more competitive golf and not to worry about the outcome but just enjoy competing.
SET UP: Place two balls up at address and then place your club in between so that the back of the club is resting against the back ball.
THE PUSH: The idea is to push the back ball away straight leading to a wide takeaway position. Any other movements won’t allow the ball to be pushed back straight or stay close to you.
