Aunaturel Let go of your stress hen you've had a bad day at work, too many late nights or not enough sleep you health can quickly deteriorate quickly leading to stress situations and muscle tension. In today's hectic world there never seems to be enough time to do all those things that need to be done, and stress and tension can quickly take its toll on your health and well-being. For short term relief, a herbal tea of chamomile, lemon balm, peppermint or linden (lime) flower will soothe that edgy feeling. These teas are also reputed to nourish and strengthen the nervous system as well. Chamomile tea is very soothing and calming for all kinds of digestive upsets, particularly when they are related to stress and tension, and will help to induce sound, natural sleep. Lemon balm tea will lift the
W
spirits, peppermint tea is very refreshing and calming, and linden flower tea relieves tension and anxiety, aids sleep and reduces muscle tension. To make your herbal tea put one level teaspoon of the dried herb in a ceramic cup, add one cup of boiling water, cover, infuse for three minutes, then strain into another cup. Drink up to three cups a day. Diet also plays an important role in treating this problem. Include vitamin B, yogurt, wheatgerm, bran, sunflower seeds, brewers' yeast, green vegetables (including dandelion greens if you can source them), tomatoes, peaches, passion fruit, oats and oatmeal. For an excellent source of vitamin B, and a great start to the day, nothing beats a good bowl of porridge with a few raisins, and other dried fruit added. And for a quick energy-fix when you’re feeling tired and
slightly stressed out, a banana will fill you quickly and provide almost instant energy. Or try a handful of sunflower seeds, which are high in B vitamins or an avocado and banana mashed up and mixed together with a little honey served on oat biscuits to make a powerful energy spread. Most importantly, set aside a little time for yourself each day to do absolutely nothing to relax and defuse stress. To unwind, stare into space, watch the waves at the beach or watch the wind in the trees, in fact do anything that allows you to turn off. You must also learn to relax your face. Once it is relaxed, the body tends to follow. Do this by relaxing the lower jaw. Every time you feel your teeth clenching, just let go. Your forehead will then follow and you'll lose those wrinkles across your brow. Another way to ease those tense muscles is to gently rub a drop of eucalyptus oil into your forehead. - Alan B Hayes www.itssonatural.com

Road to HEALTH not always easy ome people may not understand Pauline Hoare's confession that she almost made her choice of chemotherapy treatment to use based on which one would let her keep her hair. But then most people are not the one in 79 women aged under 85 that are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Australia each year. Mrs Hoare,of Murray Bridge, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010 and was told to make her own decision about which chemotherapy treatment to use. She said that decision was just one of many she had to deal with without adequate guidance. From finding out by accident over the phone about her cancer to dealing with the side affects of the treatment which left her in pain and depressed, the journey has been a difficult one. Mrs Hoare shared her story from pre-diagnosis to post treatment with about 30 cancer survivors, hospital and community health staff at a fundraiser morning tea during February as part Ovarian Cancer Month.
S
Asked to talk about what it was like to hear the bad news at diagnosis, Mrs Hoare gave an honest, if somewhat shocking, account of how outof-touch many within the medical system were when it came to patient care, but also how, with the right help, sufferers could find aid. Thankfully Mrs Hoare had a friend who listened to her complaints of feeling overwhelmingly tired and urged her to seek a second opinion which led to her diagnosis. The friend was also the one who encouraged her to seek help when she found treatment unbearable. Mrs Hoare said chemotherapy following diagnosis left her in agony and feeling alone. "I was in pain, I became suicidal and the tablets I was on stopped me from sleeping," she said. "I screamed, I ranted and I cried and I wanted to quit the chemo. "Then I started to ask questions and I got into a psychiatrist who worked with people going through chemo and she was great. "She told me I was on the wrong tablet and changed it." Working with the psychiatrist and

her specialist, the management of Mrs Hoare’s treatment changed and she found support within the community, all of which helped her make it through the illness and come out the other side with a positive attitude. "They've said it (the cancer) is likely to come back but I am looking at each day as great and choose to enjoy every day I am given,” she said. Murray Mallee Community Health women’s health nurse Yvonne Thomson said health professionals needed to be mindful of how women were treated . "Sometimes women report they get a diagnosis without being offered very much information about where they might seek support," she said. "It is about health service providers recognising that emotional and psycological support is just as important as the physical care.” Ms Thomson said, following diagnosis women, needed to be given information about support services available in their local area or be pointed in the right direction to where they might find the support appropriate to their situation. "When people are directed to a community health organisation they can be put in touch with people who can help,” she said. "Most GP clinics have practice nurses that are available to talk too - it’s

just a matter of asking for some help in finding support services." Ms Thomson also recommended women take a family member or friend to an appointment, someone who can be supportive and advocate for them within the system. "Your brain does not function well when you have just been given news that might not be so good - a support person is so important in this situation," she said. -Details: Cancer sufferers and their families or carers can find out more by contacting the Women's Health team at Murray Mallee Community Care on 8535 6800 or the Cancer Council help line on 131120. - Joanne Fosdike

It is a fact that a caucasian female living in a westernised nation has a higher chance of developing ovarian cancer especially if she has a high-fat diet, is overweight, smokes, has either used oestrogen only HRT for more than 10 years or taken several courses of fertility pills. But while these women may have a higher risk of developing the cancer, which presents as a malignant tumour originating in either one or both ovaries, the truth is that many women who develop the disease do not live in this risk factor group. And while ovarian cancer is more common in women over 50 and the risk increases with age, it can touch women of all ages, including teenagers, and affects 1200 women in Australia each year. It is a frustrating disease, the symptoms can be vague and resemble symptoms of other health issues and there is no test available to guarantee early diagnosis like
the pap smear which helps detect cervical cancer. What health officials do know is that the earlier it is detected the better increasing patient survival to 80pc. And while the symptoms can be vague there are some in particular that health professional recommend watching out for and reporting to your doctor. These include: - Abdominal or pelvic pain. - Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating. - Needing to urinate often or urgently. - Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly - Changes in your bowel habits. - Unexplained weight gain or weight loss. - Bleeding in-between periods or after menopause. - Back pain. - Indigestion or nausea. - Excessive fatigue.

Takeabreak World’s biggest tomato fight Wednesday in August, and this time they brought their own tomatoes. From there on the tradition gathered public interest, and in 1950 the town allowed the tomato hurl to take place. For me, the fact that I could throw tomatoes at random people I’d never met, swim in a pool of tomato soup on the street and wreak general havoc while it being totally socially acceptable, was the part that sparked my interest. The festivities started in Bunol at 8am, where beer and sangria stands are set up along the streets, the crowd starts to build, and excitement is in the air. Sangria at 8am, pre-tomato genocide? Don’t mind if I do. There are also stalls selling disposable cameras, as well as goggles for eye protection. I ignore the goggles, thinking it would be a waste of five Euro. In my head they were only for the weak, and I wanted to do this properly in the hardcore tomato fighter kind of way.
omato juice really stings your eyes. This is something I managed to discover when I took part in ‘La Tomatina’, the world’s biggest tomato fight held every year in the small town of Bunol, in Spain. I was living in London at the time when I decided it would be a good idea to get amongst a crowd of at least 20,000 people and be pelted with tomatoes. So, on August 26, 2009, I managed to get myself and a group of good friends to Bunol, a quaint little Valencian town about 30 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea. History states the world’s biggest tomato fight originated in 1945, when a group of young men wanted to take part in a town parade, but instead staged a brawl in the town’s main square, Plaza del Pueblo. There happened to be a vegetable stand nearby with tomatoes, they picked some up and threw them at each other. The following year the young people repeated the fight on the same last

As a truck rumbles by, hundreds of tomatoes are thrown at the crowd at La the Tomatina festival in Spain. I was even wearing double layers of clothing, as I’d heard some people take a liking to try and rip your clothes off as part of the festivities. Passing on the goggles was a rookie error as I found out just a few hours later after the wonder of hindsight. Not that I had much sight then. At around 10am the pre-fight started with an event likened to a “greasy pole” competition. In a nutshell, there is a pole, it’s greased in layers of pig fat, and a leg of ham is tied at the top. The start of the fight is signalled when someone is successful enough to climb to the top of the pole and pull the ham down. When this happens, shots of water are fired into the air and the rumble of trucks containing the tomatoes and their throwers start to make their way through the crowd. We all chant “Ole Ole...Ole Ole“, there’s clapping and whooping. Chaos rules for the next hour. That hour was probably the most fun I’ll ever have in my life with strangers and copious amounts of a popular fruit. Tomatoes rain down from the trucks that push their way through the crowd, and I start to get that nervous excitement feeling that comes with anticipation. People put their hands up to protect themselves, and I do the same. Hundreds of tomatoes roll onto the ground as the first onslaught begins. I’m excited as I pick one up...I look around, then ‘pow!’ I make my first shot at an unaware target. I remember the feeling of how satisfying it made me to hurl this wonderfully diverse fruit at an innocent head. I thought, not only are tomatoes great in salads, pasta sauces, and as a condiment, but they also carve a fantastic trajectory through the air. There are rules in La Tomatina, and
one important one is, ‘don’t throw the green tomatoes’. I found this out the the hard way, literally, when ‘bam!’ I copped a green tomato to the kidney from an unknown assailant. The kidney hit only spurred me to throw back as many tomatoes as possible in the amount of time given. After an hour or so of generally getting my bones crushed by people, falling down, having tomato puree poured over my head, and breastroking through a swimming pool of sauce, the fight ended. There were no more tomatoes. The post-festivities carry on throughout the day, and the locals set up food stands where they wash down people with their hoses, and in turn you can buy some yummy Spanish sausage off of them. In the bloody-coloured aftermath, my vision was shot, my eyes were stinging beyond belief, the sun was out in force and the stench of tomatoes was starting to become a little bit unbearable. As the sun beat down, I realised I was literally turning into a human-sized sun-dried tomato. Back in Valencia, I can’t begin to describe how nice it was to have a shower and feel the puree wash off my body, although the skins are pesky as they stick pretty good. A day after the fight I came down with a horrible cold, and so did my friends. But I had some great photos of the experience and fantastic memories that will last with me a lifetime, so it was worth it. It took me about two weeks before I could manage to eat another tomato. It’s been two and a half years, but I can honestly say I have never been able to look at this amazing fruit since without wanting to hurl it at someone. - Jess Wade A Murray Valley Standard publication.
Weight Loss Better Health starts with maintaining a healthy body weight. Carrying excess weight can lead to serious medical problems including heart disease, raised blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, sleep disorders (such as sleep apnoea), and even some types of cancer. But losing weight is not easy and is often marred by setbacks and disappointment after not achieving unrealistic goals. Set smaller, more achievable goals that allow healthy weight loss over a long time. This will also make it easier to keep the kilos off! It is important to involve your GP in any weight loss attempt you make, as weight loss can affect the doses of certain medications.
Some healthy tips to start your weight loss include: Swapping soft drinks, milk drinks and alcohol for water. Reducing portion sizes. Increasing exercise to at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Increase the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet, while reducing salt, sugar and saturated fat. Eat breakfast! Breakfast will kick start your metabolism for the day.
It is important to develop a healthy eating plan that incorporates the correct portions of food from all the different food groups. You should also set yourself realistic weight loss goals that are achievable and involve losing a healthy amount of weight each week. There are various meal replacement and vitamin supplements on the market that may help by giving your weight loss a boost, and your Better Health Pharmacist can advise whether these products are suitable for you.

Sustaining a LIFESTYLE in Caloote W
Caloote couple Max and Jacqui Merckenschlager have created their own sustainable piece of paradise.
MURRAY BRIDGE • MOUNT BARKER • TANUNDA
“ALL YOUR DENTURE NEEDS” • Full & partial denture service
DENTAL PROSTHETISTS Neville Spencer Joseph Spencer Matthew Lundberg
e do a lot of things that people think are crazy, says Murraylands poet Max Merckenschlager with a laugh. If crazy means building a house with no connection to mains power and not using mains water in years, then Max Merckenschlager is positively insane. He and his wife Jacqui bought their Caloote property, Reedy Creek Babblers, in 1998, when it was a bare lot. Since then they have transformed the property into a flourishing native garden, and in the middle of the land sits a house that is one of the best example of sustainable homes in South Australia. From teaching in Yemen to running a native nursery, the couple have lived a varied life, and currently divide their time between the property and their poetry. “Nearly every day in summer, I spend a few minutes in my vegetable garden,” Mrs Merckenschlager said. “There’s always a bit of watering, a bit of picking, or spraying stuff. “You’re always onto weeds. “You get good rain, then you get good weed growth.” The couple also spend a lot of time controlling rabbits at the property, an issue they struggle with because of their vegetarian ways. “It’s not nice, but on the other hand if you just leave them to eat everything, you’re going to have a desert,” Mrs Merckenschlager said. Apart from the rabbits that live on the outside of a rabbit-proof fence, the property is teeming with local wildlife. “We’ve certainly got lots of wildlife, Mrs Merckenschlager said. “Quite a few different lizards and birds, and the bird list is growing all the time.
“We do have kangaroos in here from time to time, but we don’t seek them out.” According to Mr Merckenschlager, there are also 65 species of birds that they have seen on the property. “I like that animals can come in and they can go,” Mr Merckenschlager said. They’re not owned by us.”. As well as the animals, 154 species of flora have been planted on the property - all by the hands of the Merckenschlagers. “I put about 300 tubestock in every year, but initially I was putting more than that in,” Mrs Merckenschlager said. Mrs Merckenschlager, whose parents were also gardeners, has skills so well-respected that she has been consulted by companies looking to grow produce. When the couple ran a company called Pick Your Own Produce, at Riverglades, the owners of Beerenberg visited to examine the way they ran the business - and for the Hahndorf-based strawberry farm, the rest is history. But the couple are currently focusing on their writing careers, with Mr Merckenschlager recently winning the 2012 Australian Bush Laureate Poem of the Year. “We are trying to get some local writing on CDs that the (Murray Bridge) council can use on the sound system that they’ve got at council offices for the courtyard outside of council,” Mr Merckenschlager said. The couple are passionate about their writing and poetry and are far from putting down the pen. “There’s a lot more we want to do in the writing field,” Mr Merckenschlager said. - Chanelle Leslie

EASTER TRAVEL Travel safely this Easter holiday aster is one of the busier times on South Australia’s roads. Even more so for the Murraylands area, with major highways the Princes, Mallee and Dukes intersecting in the area.
E
And while we all relish the extended holiday time away from work, drivers should be aware of issues such as weather conditions, road congestion and travel times.
Rules of towing a caravan n increased number of caravans will be out on the roads over Easter, with holiday-makers using the extended break to get away in their portable homes. With holiday traffic taking over the roads it is important to remember to drive safely, even more so with the addition of your caravan. Before towing a caravan, take into account the towing capacity of your vehicle, the type of tow bar you should have fitted to your vehicle and the maximum load capacity of the coupling. As caravans are not used regularly during the year, be sure to check brakes are operating correctly with a short test before you hit the road. While preparing for take-off, double check to ensure couplings and chains are correctly fastened. After hitting the road remember to
A
increase the travelling distance between yourself and the vehicle in front as it takes longer to stop when towing a caravan due to the extra weight. It is easy to forget about what is behind you, but remember you are much longer when you are towing a caravan than you would be otherwise, so increase the distance between you and other vehicles when overtaking. Make sure your side mirrors give a clear view of the road behind the caravan. It is advised vehicles towing caravans limit highway cruising towing speed to 80 to 95 kilometres per hour. The reduced speed will also increase your fuel efficiency. When towing a caravan, it is important to be calm and collected. Don't take risks and be patient in the increased holiday traffic.
Keep the children amused re we there yet? It’s that infamous phase muttered by restless children that is sure to get on the nerves of parents travelling around the country this Easter. To avoid the painful noise and some times dangerous distraction, plan some activities to keep your children occupied. They will be thankful for it and it may help you maintain your sanity. "First person to see" is a game that is sure to keep your kids quiet. From the front seat, the parent picks an object for the children to search for. It may be a church, a red car or a woman walking a dog. The game should keep the kids occupied while also encouraging them to take in the surroundings.
A

After all, you are on holidays and maybe travelling through new areas. Offer incentives to play the game by using a bag of lollies as rewards. Eye-spy is also an old favourite which will keep everyone amused. If you are travelling long distances at night a movie may keep your kids happy. Portable DVD players are becoming more common and if you have one, be sure to pack it. Another good tip for hitting the road with a young family is remembering to pack food. You don't want to have to fall into the trap of buying takeaway on the road. Also, be sure to take plenty of drinking water, it may save you a few unnecessary drinks breaks.
Planning ahead for the holidays means you and your family will have more time to enjoy the scenery, take some breaks, have a pleasant drive and arrive alive.
TIPS TO ARRIVE ALIVE Below are some tips to ensure you arrive at your destination safely. 1. Allow extra time to reach your destination. Everyone leaves for their holidays in a frenzy of excitement. But, while we are all keen to reach our destinations and make the most of the time off with family and friends, fight the urge to increase your speed. There is never a safe time to exceed the speed limit. It is better to arrive late than not at all. 2. Ensure your car has an up-todate service record. If your car is due for a service, book it in. Check your oil and coolant levels, examine your tyres and be sure to carry excess water in the unfortunate event the car overheats. While vehicle check ups sound like a basic instruction, they are often overlooked. 3. Take breaks. Don't be afraid to make stops along the way. While it may seem a nuisance, it may also save your life. If you are travelling with people, share the driving. Take it in
turns behind the wheel to ensure you are getting adequate rest from the driver’s seat. 4. Keep it cool. Roads may become congested and cause frustration and sometimes you make encounter road rage. If a situation occurs on a busy highway, back away from it. Don't drive aggressively. Even if you are in the right, or indeed have the right of way, it is always safer to slow down and distance yourself from an angry fellow road-user. 5. Don't drink and drive. The Easter break provides a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the holidays. But, if you know you have to travel, don't drink. The roads are exceptionally busy at this time of year and it's important your reactions are fast. The safety ramifications are huge and with increased police patrols over the Easter break, you are likely to lose your licence.

LIFE works in mysterious ways ou can live your whole life with uncertainty and never identify what the days have in store for you, but for one man his life could not be any clearer. Father George Kirreh, pictured right, studied for a life in dentistry for six years in Greece and continued his studies in Australia for a further three years to receive a Diploma in Dental Technology. But by the time he walked out of the building after receiving his dental diploma in Adelaide he knew what he was destined to do. Father George said he left dentistry after his second call from God. “I felt what God wanted me to be, after a long time,” Father George said. “God’s call was to strong and I had to follow. “God will put us in the right time and place where he wants us to be, not when we want. “Everything had fallen into place to where I had to be, it was now the right time. “God came to me and put things into my heart to take a priest-like direction.” Father George was born in Jerusalem and some could say the philosophy and faith of Christianity

was already instilled in George before his birth. “Christianity came from my roots,” he said. Father George said he received his first calling to become a priest while in high school, but said sometimes people could not always have what they wanted. He said he now understands why he couldn’t just leave and study theology as he needed to have life experience. His training in dentistry led him to Greece after 12 years of education at Saint George Cathedral School in Jerusalem. During his time in Greece he met his wife Faten and the couple had their first daughter, Joanna. Then the family made the decision to live in Australia but a two-year bridging course had to be completed before Father George was able to work in the country as a dentist. He was unable to get into the course so he completed a diploma in Dental Technology instead. To get the family by, Father George worked as a storeperson at Woolworths in Adelaide. “I also worked as a forklift and high rise driver at one point,” he said. The Kirreh family was complete after
the addition of daughter, Julia and son, Farid. But even with a new life and a family, Father George said he again felt the call of God. “The call from God was re-initiated and was too strong and I had to follow,” he said. So, after receiving a Bachelor of Ministry and Master of Theological Studies in Adelaide, he was ordained as deacon in Adelaide and ordained as a priest in Jerusalem, where the family lived for two years ministering in the Holy Land. But soon life led them back to Adelaide. “We appreciate life in Australia because it is a very good country, the best actually,” Father George said. Father George sensed the calling of God to be a priest in the Diocese of the Murray; so came to the Parish of Murraylands, based at Murray Bridge, which had been without a rector for three and half years. George and his family moved to Murray Bridge in mid September 2011 and have never looked back. “I am thanking God who brought me here to work with these lovely and devoted people,” he said. “We are really fitting in, it’s a good place to be.
“The Parish of Murraylands were praying to send them a leader and a priest and God answered their prayers in good time and his time. “Christ is the light and we ought to shine the light in this community.” - Carly Zammit
