Dié bibliotekaresse inspireer
Heavenly Harves t
Die senior bibliotekaresse van Groenheuwel biblioteek, Mercia Sias, het onlangs haar meestersgraad (M.Bibl) aan die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland, verwerf. Haar tesis het gehandel oor “Die rol van die openbare biblioteek in die verwesenliking van die millennium ontwikkelingsdoelwitte”. Merica, wat haar skoolopleiding by Magnolia Primêre Skool begin het en by New Orleans Sekondêre Skool gematrikuleer het, het na skool haar studies in biblioteek- en inligtingkunde by die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland voortgesit. Sy was een van ses kinders en het grootgeword in Magnolia-woonstelle en later saam met haar ouers na New Orleans-woonbuurt verhuis. “Ek moes elke dag ’n ver afstand na my skool stap en ek het al daar tekens getoon van uithouvermoë,” vertel sy. Haar liefde vir lees is van jongs gekweek en hierdie bibliotekaresse kan vir ure nie-fiksie en geestelike boeke lees en hou daarvan om tyd met mense te verkeer. Sy beskryf haarself as ’n passievolle bibliotekaresse wat daarin glo om elkeen wat die biblioteek besoek met respek te behandel en goeie diens aan elkeen te lewer. Vir die afgelope 23 jaar in die inligtingswêreld het sy die meeste van haar diensjare in openbare biblioteke deurgebring, waarvan sy 16 jaar by Drakenstein-biblioteek in Paulusstraat, Paarl-Oos, gewerk het. “Ek kan met trots sê dat by Drakenstein het ek baie geleer en meeste van my kennis en ondervinding kon ek met my kollegas en lesers deel,” meen sy. Behalwe dat Mercia toegewyd is aan

Mericia Sias en haar dogter, Moesha (11) die gemeenskap, het sy ook ’n dogter, Moesha (11) en is getroud met Murdoch, wat vaardighede vir organisasies en werklose mense aanbied om hulself te kan bemagtig. Die energieke Mercia is altyd gereed vir uitdagings. Vir eers fokus sy om soveel moontlik biblioteek-personeel te oorreed om ’n diploma of graad te voltooi. Tans fokus sy ook daarop om opleiding te gee in die biblioteek ten opsigte van werksessies en artikels wat sy skryf en navors. Mercia droom nog elke dag al hoe meer om LIASA (Library and Information Association of South Africa) internasionaal te kan verteenwoordig. “Ek glo dat ek eendag ’n internasionale biblioteekkonferensie sal kan bywoon om die Drakenstein-biblioteekdiens te verteenwoordig,” sê sy..
Kweek jou eie wintergroente DAISY DE MELCKER Vir sommige mag die winter nie juis tuinmaak tyd wees nie, maar daar is heelwat wat hierdie tyd van die jaar gedoen kan word. Nou is dit goed herfs en daar kan vinnig op ’n Saterdagoggend gewerk word aan ’n winter groentetuin. Ideale groente wat tydens die wintermaande groei is juis lekkernye wat in soppe en bredies gebruik kan word, onder meer blomkool wortels, seldery, kool, uie, spinasie, brokkoli, rape en Brusselse spruite. Berei ’n sonnige stukkie grond in jou tuin voor deur dit skoon te maak van alle onkruid. Werk ’n sak en kompos goed in die grond in. As jy ernstig is om groente te plant is dit ook nou die tyd om ’n versteekte stukkie tuin te vind, wat hoofsaaklik in die skaduwee is, en jou eie komposhoop te begin. Laat al jou groente en vrugte oorskot hierin verrot tot ’n heerlike ryk kompos vorm. As die kompos goed in die grond in gewerk is, maak dan seker dat die grond goed nat is. Nou kan jy jou saadjies in rye plant. Onthou net dit gaan ses weke langer neem totdat jy jou groente kan pluk as jy saad plant in plaas van saailinge.

Chocoholics’ guide to healthy teeth
W iam m S Sm 's W ilillila miitthh 's
Starguide
Although we may not be quite as chocolate verskrik as the Brits, who consume a massive 80 million chocolate Easter eggs a year, South Africans love chocolate with a passion and their pockets - the chocolate market is valued at over R5 billion a year with sales booming at peak holidays like Easter. But poor oral health may be the price we pay for our sweet tooth. By the age of six years over 60% of South African children were found to have cavities and worldwide, gum disease is one of the most common health conditions. However, a taste for the sweet things in life doesn’t have to equal a dental disaster. Gum disease and cavities can be prevented if you pay proper attention to your oral care routine. Dirna Grobbelaar, IVOhealth’s oral hygiene advisor, explains. “Cavities are caused by bacteria in plaque (streptococcus mutans) that thrive in an acidic environment. Eating chocolate and sugary foods and drinks makes the mouth more acidic, feeding this ‘bad’ bacteria, which then eats away at your tooth’s enamel.” In the interests of better oral health here is the chocoholics guide to healthy teeth: Rinse: after consuming sugary foods or drinks, rinse the mouth with a mouthwash that is the same pH as saliva and contains fluoride. “Rinsing with water is an option, not quite as effective, but better than leaving the sugar residue in the mouth,” says Grobbelaar. Brush: Brushing teeth twice a day for two minutes each time is essential, but it is not a good idea to brush immediately after a chocfeast, even after eating fruit, as the sugars contained raise acid levels and this temporarily ‘softens’ the enamel that protects the teeth. It is best to wait at least an hour before brushing. Floss: As two-thirds of South Africans don’t floss regularly, it is not surprising that 90 percent of dental problems start between the teeth. Many people say they find flossing awkward, but these days, with a vast array of interdental cleaners on the market that is no excuse. “How you clean between the teeth is less important than how often you do it,” says Grobbelaar. “Make it a daily habit.” For the more fastidious amongst us you can check how effective your oral care routine has been by chewing on a GUM disclosing tablet after you brush to reveal any plaque left on the teeth. Disclosing tablets are the “ultimate truth” when it comes to oral hygiene and will help you improve your technique. Grobbelaar says that timing also has an impact: “Eat your treats all at once or straight after meals, rather than small snacks throughout the day. It’s better to have a temporary surge in acid balance than a continual onslaught.” Prevention is not only better than cure from a health perspective – it is often more cost effective. Grobbelaar recommends having a dental check-up annually and seeing the oral hygienist twice a year for a professional cleaning. For more advice on how to keep even the sweetest tooth strong and healthy speak to your dentist or oral hygienist.

for 5 April 2013 CAPRICORN
(22 December - 21 January)
Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also.
AQUARIUS
(21 January - 20 February)
You are very impulsive and restless now and you are likely to act or speak too quickly without sufficient forethought or concern for the consequences. You tend to be verbally aggressive, starting fights with people who don't agree with you or who simply get in your way.
Even chocoholics can have healthy teeth.
PISCES
Recipes
(20 February - 21 March)
You may encounter a person that is domineering or very critical of you at this time. Because you are a little unsure of yourself and not as confident as usual, domineering individuals see you as an easy "victim". Another negative possibility is that you will react to the problem by turning the tables and being bossy and domineering with others.
ARIES
(21 March - 21 April)
Cooperation and assistance in business relationships is high now and, consequently, significant growth and progress in your career is likely at this time. Communications and contacts in business and professional circles open up, with opportunities to expand your services and professional involvements.
TAURUS
BOEREWORS ROLL WITH BALSAMIC MUSHROOM SAUCE
(21 April - 21 May)
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.
Ingredients: • 1 Tbs Butter • 1 Tbs Olive Oil • 8 Brown Mushrooms roughly chopped • 1 Clove Garlic roughly chopped • 2 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
GEMINI
(21 May - 22 June)
A relationship may end or a temporary break may be made. This is a time to relinquish something or someone you once cherished but which no longer has a positive purpose in your life. Personal subjects are the topic of discussion now. Reminiscing, remembering, daydreaming about, and reflecting on the past is likely.
CANCER
(22 June - 23 July)
At this time you must guard against being too aggressive, coming on too strong, or trying to force your own will and thereby arousing hostility in others. Also, frustrated desires and obstacles to achieving your aims can evoke enormous anger in you, and you may do something rash and regrettable.
For The Boerewors Rolls: • 800 g Beef Boerewors (sausage) • 1 Tbs Olive Oil • 4 Bread Rolls of your choice • Shavings of Parmesan Cheese (optional) • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
LEO
(23 July - 24 August)
Your amorous feelings and passions are strong and compelling at this time, and you tend to be very demanding of a lover's energy and affection. Tensions may erupt in close relationships because one of you feels that you have been giving more and not receiving enough in return, or one of you is more amorous than the other.
VIRGO
(24 August - 23 September)
Method: Add your butter and olive oil to a medium-sized sauce pan. Heat until the butter starts to foam, then add in the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in the garlic and balsamic vinegar, cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside. While the mushroom sauce cooks, cook your boerewors on the BBQ, for about 15 minutes, depending on the thickness, turning half way. Remove form the heat and set aside to rest on a warmed serving plate. Assemble your rolls with the boerewors and mushroom sauce, as well as shavings of parmesan if you like.
This is a good time to phone friends or family, write personal letters, or record any thoughts or feelings that you have. Emotions and personal biases are apt to cloud your objectivity, however, so you may wish to postpone activities that require strict logic and clarity.
LIBRA
(23 September - 23 October)
Tensions in an intimate relationship make themselves felt now. You may feel out of sync with your partner, dissatisfied in a way that may be difficult to pinpoint and resolve. Most likely, you are pulled between pleasing your partner and expressing your own desires and needs.
SCORPIO
(23 October - 23 November)
Agreements, contracts, and joining your efforts with others will work out very much to your advantage now. A friend or person in authority may offer help or present an opportunity which will benefit you now or in the future. Also, you will reap rewards later for the generosity and aid you extend to others at this time.
SAGITTARIUS
(23 November - 22 December)
This is a favorable time to take a short vacation or pleasure trip, especially to visit people you really enjoy. The tone of this time is light, friendly, and easy. Positive connections are made with others, and you may meet a new friend. You may also want to call or write someone you love, simply to cheer them up or tell them you love them. *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

Generics a good option Have you ever hesitated when your pharmacist offered you the option of generic substitution? Generic medicines have been around for many years, and yet there still seems to be a general lack of understanding of, or confidence placed in generics.

In the minds of the lay public, a generic medicine or imitator product is often deemed to be inferior because it is cheaper than the branded or “innovator” product. There may even be concerns in terms of its effectiveness – is it as safe or as strong as the originator medicine? This needn’t be the case, however, believes Peter Jordan, principal officer of Fedhealth. “Nowadays generics are bioequivalent to the original branded products and are a far more affordable medicinal option for many South Africans.

Schools - Skole
WATERWEEK: Op 20 Maart het Imperial Cargo die leerlinge van Wagenmakersvallei Primêr toegespreek as deel van hul Nasionale Waterweek-veldtog. Die boodskap oor wanneer water gemors word en hoe dit bespaar kan word is deur middel van ’n toneelopvoering aan die kinders oorgedra. Elke kind het ook ’n paaseier gekry met die boodskap: “Water is life. Respect it, conserve it, enjoy it.”
PAASEIERS: LK Zeeman Primêre Skool het paaseiers aan die bejaardes van die woonbuurt uitgedeel. Tussen die leerlinge is Gertruida van Heerden en waarnemende skoolhoof Myrna Williams. FOTO: ERNEST KILOWAN

OPGEWONDE: Met die onlangse Paasfees het kinders die heerlike sjokolades, paaseiers geniet. Hier is (van links) Darelle Steenkamp, Lize de Villiers, Albert Lourens en Adriaan Krynauw van Dwergiebos-kleuterskool in Wellington met van die hasies wat op die terrein baljaar.
TOER: Klein Nederburg Sekondêre Skool se handelsgroep onder leiding van onderwyser Janice Hardine het na Port Elizabeth vertrek waar hulle verskeie fabrieke sal besoek soos Klipdrift in Robertson en Volkswagen en die Koega-aanleg in Port Elizabeth verken. Die besoeke vorm deel van hul sillabus.
MODELS: The Gathering Wholeness Church recently held a modelling competition. Here are the winners: Mahesh Boshale (Mr Cool), Storm Eksteen (senior second runnerup), Zoë September (senior winner), Eugenia Skippers (senior runner-up), Ilke Cedras (junior second runner-up), Eumelia Skippers (junior queen) and Robin Jacobs (junior runner-up).

Kavaliers pak Pampas op Boland-stadion Die Regent Boland Kavaliers sit eerskomende Saterdag sy Vodacombeker-veldtog voort wanneer hulle teen die Argentynse span, die Pampas, op die Boland-stadion in Wellington te staan kom. Dit sal die eerste keer wees dat die Kavaliers vanjaar op dié veld meeding, ná die speel-oppervlak oor Desember nuut oorgedoen is met ’n nuwe dreineringstelsel.
’n Sege oor die Pampas sal die Kavaliers weer goed op dreef plaas om die uitspeelrondes van die kompetisie te haal, ná hulle twee naweke gelede, teen alle verwagtinge in, vasgeval het teen die SWD Arende. Die wedstryd skop Saterdag om 16:00 af. Verskeie Boland Interstreek-wedstryde sal in die aanloop tot die Vodacombeker-wedstryd op onderskeidelik CPUT en Hoërskool Hugenote se velde beslis word.
Violets skop seisoen af Violets Rugbyklub begin hul ligaverpligtinge Saterdag 5 April teen Allandale op die Drakenstein Korrektiewe Sentrum se veld. Die wedstryd beloof om klipharde rugby op te lewer. Met Allandale wat tuisveld voordeel geniet behoort hulle met alles in die stryd te werp. Violets wat sover ’n 50%-suksesrekord handhaaf deur twee van hul vriendskaplike wedstryde te wen en twee te verloor, het self ook baie om te bewys in hul eerste wedstryd. Na ’n paar dae se rus behoort hulle ook lus te wees om die manne van Allandale bloedneus huis toe te stuur. Met Violets wat vierde en Allandale agtste op die plaaslike klubrugby-punteleer geëindig het, kan die skare behoorlik getrakteer word op gehalte rugby komende Saterdag. Hierdie twee spanne dis tradisioneel goeie rugby op. Wedstryde begin om 13:35 met die derde spanne en die hoof wedstryd skop om 16:00 af. Violets se bus sal al 11:30 vanaf Chicago vertrek en beloop R10 vir spelers en R 20 vir toeskouers.
