See Franschhoek by tram
One of South Africa’s leading wine producing regions, as well as the country’s premier culinary destination, the Franschhoek Wine Valley, has once again every reason to raise a glass with the launch of the Franschhoek Wine Tram.
Passengers aboard the hop-on, hop-off tour will experience a unique and leisurely way to see the Franschhoek Valley as they journey through rolling vineyards in an open-side tram. The tram will stop at some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished wine estates. A combination of tram and tram-bus transports passengers around a loop of stops, allowing them to hop off at each stop
and experience the activities on offer – be it wine tasting, a cellar tour, lunch or simply a stroll through the vineyards – and when they are ready, hop on to continue the tour. The tour takes passengers right into the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, with a commentary guided tour and unparalleled views of the valley and vineyards. The tram seats 32 passengers on eight benches with six of the benches having flipover, tram-style seat backs that allow passengers to enjoy the breathtaking view in both directions. The hop-on, hop-off tour departs from the Franschhoek Wine Tram ticket office (Bijoux Square, 60 Huguenot Road, Franschhoek) and includes six stops: Grande Pro-
vence, Rickety Bridge, Dieu Donne, Haute Cabrière, Chamonix and the Huguenot Museum. A commentary guided tour, focusing on the history of Franschhoek and wine cultivation in the Valley, and a complimentary wine tasting are included. The Franschhoek Wine Tram operates daily from 10:00 to 15:20 with departures every 40 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at the Franschhoek Wine Tram ticket office or online at www.winetram.co.za. Ticket prices are R130 for adults, R65 for children 5 to 17 years of age and no charge for children four years of age and under. For more information, contact 021 300 0338, e-mail info@winetram.co.za or visit www.winetram.co.za.

NUWE PERSONEEL: LK Zeeman Primêr, wat deur die Wes-Kaapse minister van onderwys, Donald Grant geïdentifiseer is as een van die skole wat in Desember 2012 moes sluit, het ’n tydelik interdik gewen sodat dié skool se deure vanjaar weer vir leerlinge kon open. In Desember het twee regters die betrokke interdik goedgekeur terwyl die derde regter nie deel gevorm het van die besluit nie. Die besluit het ook onder meer bepaal dat die WKOD alle regskostes moet betaal. Alle toerusting wat van dié skool verwyder is, is terugbesorg. ’n Teer punt oor die feestyd was egter dat weens die sluiting, gevalle van vandalisme daar plaasgevind het en ouers het self elke aand die skool bewaak. Die skool het vanjaar ’n tydelike nuwe personeelspan gekry wat volstoom sal voortgaan om leerlinge te onderrig. Hier (van links) is Majory Samuels, Dawn Williams (ondervoorsitter), Elize Eksteen, Myrna Williams (waarnemende skoolhoof), Charmaine Moosa, Edwin Standfliet (waarnemende departementshoof), Juanita Jansen en Harvey Cupido.

Starguide for 1 February 2013 CAPRICORN
(22 December - 21 January)
You are inclined to be aggressive and hot-tempered now, particularly when your will is blocked. Your pushiness or competitive attitude is likely to create antagonism, hostility, and further resistance to your efforts. It is best to work alone rather than try to cooperate or coordinate your efforts with anyone at this time.
AQUARIUS
(21 January - 20 February)
This is a time when you express yourself very clearly, and conversations, negotiations, and communications of all kinds are cordial and successful. Expect a rapid pace with numerous transactions, letters, phone calls, or errands requiring mental clarity.
PISCES
(20 February - 21 March)
You are optimistic and possibly extravagant now. You are less cautious than usual, feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong. If you are inclined to overindulge, overspend, or go to excesses in any manner, this tendency is exaggerated at this time.
ARIES
(21 March - 21 April)
Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems.
Slegte asem die doodsklok vir romanse
Recipes
TAURUS
(21 April - 21 May)
You are more prone to vexation and aggravation right now, especially in traffic or in some area of your life that you are trying to get ahead in. Accidents due to trying to force a situation, ignoring safety precautions, hurrying, or anger need to be guarded against.
GEMINI
(21 May - 22 June)
Right now, you will be tempted to do something for pleasure which you ordinarily wouldn't enjoy or even be interested in. Influences from a lover or friend pull you in a direction that is a bit off the beaten track for you. If you goof off or choose to indulge yourself, there will be some form of pay back later.
As jy hierdie Februarie romantiese gedagtes koester, sal dit jou baat om eerder jou geld in mondsorg as blomme of sjokolade te belê. Slegte asem is waarskynlik dié ding wat mense die afstootlikste vind. Baie mense glo halitose hou verband met spysvertering, maar volgens professor Mel Rosenberg, ’n wêreldkenner oor slegte asem, “ontstaan sowat 85 tot 90% van slegte asem in die mond en is gewoonlik die gevolg van swak mondhigiëne”. Gelukkig is dit makliker om jou mondversorgingsroetine te verander as om jou droommaat se voete onder hom of haar uit te slaan. Dirna Grobbelar, IVOhealth se raadgewer oor mondgesondheid, verduidelik ’n maklike drie-stapbenadering vir ’n gesonder mond. “Die eerste stap is om beter te borsel,” sê sy. “Tande moet twee keer per dag vir minstens twee minute geborsel word.” Omdat baie mense nie die volle twee minute borsel nie, beveel sy ’n Philips Sonicare herlaaibare tandeborsel met ’n ingeboude tydhouer aan. Dit is klinies bewys om meer plaak as ’n handborsel te verwyder. Stap twee is om tussen die tande en onder die tandvleis skoon te maak – iets wat baie mense verwaarloos. Sowat twee-derdes van Suid-Afrikaners erken dat hulle nie gereeld vlos nie omdat hulle dit moeilik vind of nie die tyd het nie. Die derde ding wat aandag moet geniet, is die agterkant van die tong, wat volgens professor Rosenberg ’n oorsaak van slegte asem is wat dikwels oor die hoof gesien word. “In sowat sewe uit tien gevalle word halitose veroorsaak deur bakterieë wat ’n post-nasale drup, kosdeeltjies en selle wat op die tong versamel, afbreek. Wanneer jy seker is jou asem is vars is jy dalk gelukkig genoeg om nog ’n tand-vriendelike aktiwiteit te geniet – soen stimuleer die vloei van speeksel, wat op sy beurt die mond skoonmaak. Soen dus sonder sorge hierdie Valentynsdag – dit is in werklikheid goed vir jou mondgesondheid. Vir raad oor mondsorg besoek www.gettingfresh101.co.za of sluit by IVOhealth aan op Facebook www.facebook.com/IVOhealth.
BACON, PESTO AND MUSHROOM PASTA
CANCER
(22 June - 23 July)
Conversations and sharing plans and ideas with others are very fruitful now. You understand what others are telling you, and you make yourself clearly understood also. This is a favorable time for getting your message across to others via writing, speaking, or advertising.
LEO
Ingredients: • 400 - 500g Pasta of your choice • 60 ml Basil Pesto • 30 ml Olive Oil • 1 Onion, Chopped • 250 g Bacon, Chopped • 250 g Mushrooms, Cleaned and Sliced • 250 ml Grated Cheddar Cheese • 250 ml Cream • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to Taste
(23 July - 24 August)
Exchanging information, ideas, and opinions plays an important role in your life now. A significant conversation with someone who has a very different attitude or perspective than your own is likely. Try to be receptive and learn as much as you can from others at this time.
VIRGO
(24 August - 23 September)
This is a time when it is difficult to stay within a budget or on a diet, as your tendency is to splurge on beautiful things and to enjoy yourself as much as possible. You want comfort and ease and have luxurious tastes. Quality is especially important to you right now. Also, you want to share whatever good fortune you have. You need company and happy fellowship.
LIBRA
(23 September - 23 October)
Errors made in haste, sharp words spoken on impulse, or accidents occurring due to restlessness and impatience are all possible at this time. You feel that you have to fight for what you want or believe in, and you are very clear, decisive, and convincing right now, but you also tend to stir up more controversy or competitive feelings than is really necessary.
Method: Boil the pasta in salted water till cooked. Drain and mixes the basil pesto into the pasta. Keep warm till required. Heat the olive oil to medium heat and fry the onion for a minute or two. Add the bacon and fry till crispy. Add the mushrooms and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the grated cheddar cheese and cream and heat through (do not cook) until the cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sauce to the drained pasta and mix. Serve with a salad on the side.
SCORPIO
(23 October - 23 November)
Flexibility, thinking on your feet, and the ability to accommodate the unexpected will be called for now. The pace is very quick. You will be pulled in many directions at once and will tend to scatter your forces, jumping from one thing to the next.
SAGITTARIUS

Your vitality and self-confidence are high, and you can achieve your goals with much more ease than usual. You enjoy vigorous physical activities, competitive work or sports, and meeting challenges. You are inclined to strike out on your own and to assert your own will, but not in a way that creates resistance in others. *AFRIKAANS - DAAGLIKSE STERRE: Ram: 083 9140 010, Bul: 083 9140 011, Tweeling: 083 9140 012, Kreef: 083 9140 013, Leeu: 083 9140 014, Maagd: 083 9140 015, Weegskaal: 083 9140 016, Skerpioen: 083 9140 017, Boogskutter: 083 9140 018, Steenbok: 083 9140 019, Waterdraer: 083 9140 020, Vis: 083 9140 021

The importance of creating awareness of childhood cancer Every boy or girl dreams of growing into a young man or woman with the purpose and hope of becoming of great value to him or herself and the world around them. Every parent has that dream for their child. But what if suddenly, one day; both parent and child are faced with the possibility of that dream not being fulfilled because the child has been diagnosed with cancer? Many parents and children are faced with this challenge each and every day and unfortunately, for
some parents, they find out too late. That is why on the 15 February, CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA urge the public to support International Childhood Cancer Day. It is believed that currently less than half of the children with cancer in South Africa are diagnosed and many of those who are diagnosed are in the advanced stage of illness. During the month of February, CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa will seek to
continue raising awareness of the importance of early detection and diagnosis in the treatment outcome of childhood cancer. If you would like further information about the warning signs and the importance of early detection, or would like to show your support by assisting us in creating awareness, contact the Western Cape Divisional Manager, Vanessa Vermaak at 086 110 6441 or 082 784 5179. Send an email to vanessa.vermaak@choc.org.za or visit the website at www.choc.org.za.

Record field expected for marathon Over 1 500 entries have been received to date and race organisers are expecting a record field to line up for the Cape Peninsula marathon and half marathon that will take place on 17 February. Runners are reminded to enter online at www.topevents.co.za or pick up an entry form at any Sportsmans Warehouse, who will also be accepting entries at the till points. Runners must enter before Sunday 3 February as no late entries will be allowed and no substitutions, up-
grades or downgrades. The event is organised by Celtic Harriers in association with Top Events and the 42 km marathon is an official qualifier for the Old Mutual Two Oceans marathon and Comrades, with many runners using it not only as their qualifier, but also as their long training run. The marathon starts in Green Point Main Road at 05:15, while the half marathon starts from the Bergvliet Sports Club at 07:00. Both routes offer runners a fast, flat and scenic run through
to the finish at the Naval Sports Grounds in Simon’s Town. Two runners stand the chance of each winning an all-expenses paid trip to the Victoria Falls marathon or half marathon in July 2013 just by entering the Cape Peninsula 42 km or 21 km. All entrants’ names will go into a special lucky draw the day before the event and the winners will be informed ahead of race day. For more information contact Top Events on 021 511 7130 or visit www.topevents.co.za

To commemorate his release, the Drakenstein Correctional Services and the Drakenstein Municipality are hosting the fourth 27 for Freedom race and runners can participate in the 27 km run/walk, the 10 km run/walk or the Freedom Route 5 km. On this family day of sport, history and entertainment, participants will walk or run along the same route that Madiba took as he left prison, from the Madiba House, along the Long Walk to Freedom, to
the Madiba statue at the entrance of the correctional facility. The 27 km route is scenic with some trail sections and offers participants a unique experience that will earn entrants their Madiba medal at the finish. The 27 km starts at 06:30, 10 km at 07:00, 5 km at 09:00 and the 50 m toddlers’ event at 10:00. Participants can enter online at www.topevents.co.za up until midnight on 3 February. Race number collection will take place on Friday 8 February from 10:00 to 17:00 at Sportsmans Warehouse in Rondebosch, Tygervalley and Somerset West or at Dal Josaphat Stadium in Paarl. Entries will also be taken at these various points.
