Fietna Lekke Jy on stage The young aspiring artist Hein Poole from Wellington is bringing his Afrikaans comedy Fietna lekke jy back to Paarl and Wellington.

In August this year, Hein and his cast launched the comedy in Paarl and made a huge impression on the audience.

He said that’s what he planned when he wrote the theatre piece and selected the talented cast and director for his play.

His first priority was to bring the script to life in the Boland, because the events take place here.

He finds the well-equipped local theatres a joy and looks forward to mounting future professional productions here.

Fietna Lekke Jy will be staged on 9 Desember at 16:30 at the Bordienghuis in Wellington and 16 Desember at 16:30 at the Old Mill Theatre, Paarl.

Tickets for the show Fietna Lekke Jy are R60 and can be booked at 021 873 2786 or 072 377 4703.

M-Net magic for school New Orleans Primary School has undergone a major face-lift, thanks to M-Net Cares and Builders Warehouse.

science are incredibly important and we believe that more focus needs to be placed on these subjects at primary school level,” says Govender.

“It was important for us to fulfil the development needs of the school and help New Orleans realise their vision of improving student learning, and to also give educators the opportunity to develop their teaching in a regular, ongoing manner.”

The school does not only cater to the educational needs of the children but it also serves as a community centre for the meetings, music and drama, sports and recreation and fundraising projects by churches and organisations.

As part of their community outreach projects, a new kitchen was installed, the staff room refurbished, cloakrooms upgraded and a new playground and vegetable garden were added to the schools facilities.

Both of the organisations are committed to bring change and contribute in a meaningful way to the educational needs of young pupils.

“When we first went to New Orleans Primary, a school that has great historical roots in the community of Paarl, we were shocked at the state that some of the facilities were in. We could not walk away without doing what M-Net Cares does best, and that is to spread a little magic,” says M-Net Director: Corporate Marketing and Communications, Koo Govender.

Both M-Net Cares and Builders Warehouse have a singular vision on education for young pupils, and that is to provide conducive environments were young students can flourish and reach their fullest potential. As part of the partnership between M-Net Cares and Builders Warehouse, the goal is to refurbish homes and schools that are in need around the country.

Govender believes that education at foundation level is key in the life of any young pupil.

Be money-wise over the festive season Christmas means holiday time for many. But this holiday often ends with no money in the bank and a huge overdraft.

Here are some useful tips on how to curb spending over the festive season and not to get caught with the New Year blues.

Spend your bonus wisely. Instead of spending it on too many Christmas gifts, rather use it to pay off debt or plan ahead for expenses in the New Year.

Don’t spend a fortune on your partner because let’s face it, he/she is not with you for the gifts. Agree on a gift budget and stick to it.

Buy fewer gifts. Cut down on buying every

family member or friend a gift. Give only to those who are closest to you.

Be creative as well. At the end of the day it is the thought that counts. Promise cards are a thoughtful way to reconnect with friends and colleagues.

Promise cards come in all shapes and forms and can be redeemed whenever suits your friend, such as a dinner invite, movies invite, cocktail etc.

For those that like to be creative on a shoestring budget, craft markets are the way to go.

You can pick up all sorts of knick-knacks and hand-painted goodies that are more personal.

Soul of fire concert

W iam m S Sm 's W ilillila miitthh 's

Starguide for 7 December 2012 CAPRICORN

(22 December - 21 January)

This can be a very depleting and confusing time when you do not know exactly what you want or you do not feel strong, capable, or effective. Physically, you need to be gentle with yourself and take care not to dissipate your energy reserves. Your imagination can run wild now, and you want to act out a fantasy or strange desire.

Mountain Shadows Country Manor presents soul of fire picnic concert on 16 December, 16:30 at Mountain Shadows Country Manor Paarl.

AQUARIUS

(21 January - 20 February)

The opera diva Zanne Stapelberg and New York based pianist Kathleen Tagg bring their soul of fire concert to the Winelands.

They will be accompanied by violin Virtuoso Piet de Beer, composer and double bassist Charles Lazar and talented percussionist Joseph Avergel. This is an ensemble performance glittering with panache and an exhilarating sonic journey exploring the musical influences of Spain and Latin America. Bring your own picnic blanket and glasses. Food, wine and cooldrinks will be sold.

For more details contact Misty at 076 302 1586 or visit www.mountainshadows.co.za.

Romance and flirtations are likely now. You are feeling warm, expressive, and lively. Loving feelings flow between you and the people you meet, especially those of the opposite sex. Friendships are also strengthened at this time. Also, your creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now.

PISCES

(20 February - 21 March)

TONEEL: Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck oftewel Dowwe Dolla is terug in Dowwe Dolla Dink Diep op Vrydag 7 Desember om 20:00 by die Ou Meulteater.

Dit storie handel oor twee boeke van Frederick Nietsche en Siener van Rensburg wat per ongeluk tussen Dolla se versameling Mills & Boon’s beland terwyl sy op ’n onlangse diepsee boot “trippie” gaan. Dolla begin lees terwyl sy wag om aan boord te gaan. “Kennis is mag”, sê Nietshce, maar “kennis sonder begrip is gevaarlik” – wees gewaarsku hierdie “kursus” is nie vir beginners nie. Dolla filosofeer en voorspel.

You are very clear and perceptive now. It's a good time to make a decision or come to an agreement, negotiate, exchange your views with others, or present your case. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communication, this is a very productive time for you. Ideas flow, and you express your thoughts well.

ARIES

(21 March - 21 April)

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.

TAURUS

Recipes

(21 April - 21 May)

You are mentally restless and can not concentrate well on your immediate, familiar tasks. You are not inclined to discipline your mind or focus on practical matters, unless there is an element of gambling, play, or risk-taking involved. Reading something that is mind expanding, taking a trip, or planning a vacation is favored at this time.

GEMINI

(21 May - 22 June)

Right now you feel a need for sweetness - perhaps in the form of emotional and physical affection, or even of food. You are apt to be pleasantly self-indulgent. Your sexual and aggressive energies are stimulated, and you take the initiative. Emotional outbursts and impatience are also likely. You're in a combative, energetic mood.

CANCER

Neem die sterre só af ’n Fotografie-werkswinkel, waar deelnemers sal leer om ster-sirkels “star trails” af te neem, word op 8 Desember van 18:00 tot 22:30 by die Taalmonument aangebied.

Dié praktiese werkswinkel, deur professionele fotograaf en geregistreerde toergids, Peter Haarhoff, van die Cape Photographic Company, is geskik vir beginner- tot intermediêre fotograwe. ’n SLR-kamera (digitaal of 35mm) is noodsaaklik. Die werkswinkel kos R250 en sluit notas en ligte verversings in.

Bespreking is noodsaaklik by Amira Clayton by tel. 021 863 0543/4809 of kommunikasie@taalmonument.co.za.

ICE CREAM PIES

(22 June - 23 July)

You feel quite amorous and affectionate now and will very much want to share this time with someone you love or at least with congenial company. Your creative or artistic inclinations are also stimulated, and your work in these areas will be especially satisfying and successful at this time.

LEO

Ingredients: • 1 Packets of Ginger Nut Biscuits • 1 Tin of Dulce De Leche or Nestle Caramel • 1 L Good Quality Vanilla Ice-Cream

(23 July - 24 August)

Your perceptions of others are rather fuzzy now. You tend to see just what you want to see or to fantasize a bit too much about another person. Your empathy increases also and you feel "soft" at this time. Your thoughts turn to love and this is a favorable time to bring out any concerns you have in your personal relationships.

VIRGO

(24 August - 23 September)

Your mind is serious and you are able to concentrate on work that requires patience, attention to detail, and precision. Practical concerns dominate. It is a good time to learn practical skills, do your taxes, organize your files, and take care of business. You'll want to avoid light social conversation or trivialities that distract you from your work.

LIBRA

(23 September - 23 October)

Your amorous desires and romantic urges are very strong now. In all of your relationships, whether romantic or not, you feel quite warm and affectionate. You are less competitive, more interested in pleasing others and creating harmony. You may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic, something to express your craving for beauty.

Method: Soften the ice cream in a big bowl and mix the tin of caramel in with the ice cream. Now make sandwiches with the biscuits using two biscuits on either end.

Freeze until ready to eat.

SCORPIO

(23 October - 23 November)

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.

SAGITTARIUS

(23 November - 22 December)

A goal or vision you have been working toward comes into fruition now, or gains momentum and positive recognition from others. You feel expansive and inclined to take risks, and you may be overly extravagant now. You use charm, humor, and a light touch to get your point across now. *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

Die bekende vuur-geselskap, The Psychedelic Theatre, stel vanjaar ’n buitengewone vuur-teaterstuk bekend, gebaseer op Shakespeare se Midsomernagdroom.

Dié unieke vollengte stuk sluit in ’n verteller, sang, karakters, dansontwerp, spesiale kostuums, media en verskillende vuur-dansformate.

Die Psychedelic Theatre bestaan uit sewe professionele kunstenaars, almal met uitgebreide ervaring, waaronder in fisieke teater, televisie en sirkuskuns.

Nog ’n opwindende toevoeging is die bekende Paarlse operasanger Jo-Nette Le Kay, wat so pas teruggekeer het van optredes in Duitsland en Switserland.

“Die vertoning is die resultaat van al hierdie diverse talente wat saamgeweef word om speelse midsomernag-vermaak te verskaf. Dit was ’n uitdagende kreatiewe proses om die vertoning aanmekaar te slaan; ons moes ons vaardighede uitbrei en nuut leer dink oor hoe ons beweeg en vermaak,” sê stigterlid Marvin Lee-Beukes.

“Ek is ongelooflik opgewonde oor die vertoning. Ons beloof ’n wonderlike ervaring vir die hele gesin – perfek vir die begin van die feestyd,” sê hy.

Die vertoning begin om 20:00 by die Tuinteater op die grasperk van die Taalmonument, met ’n praguitsig oor die Paarlvallei.

“Die ligging is toweragtig mooi en die ideale kuierplek vir voorvertoning drankies of ’n gesinspiekniek.”

Bring jou eie piekniekmandjie of bestel een by die monument se koffiewinkel, Volksmond (021 863 2800) waar jy ook voor die vertoning ligte verversings kan koop.

Moenie jou piekniekkombers/ kussing en warm klere vergeet nie.”

Sitplek is beperk. Kaartjies is by die hek beskikbaar, asook vooraf by Gypsy-winkels in Stellenbosch, by Langstraat (Kaapstad) en Kalkbaai, of by die Taalmonument. Kaartjies kos R50 vir kinders onder 12 en R100 vir volwassenes.

Veilige parkering is beskikbaar en toegang word beheer. Geen honde of vure word toegelaat nie.

Indien die weer sleg is, word die vertoning afgestel.

Vir meer inligting, bel 021 863 4809/0543 of 079 148 1933/078 328 0928/084 715 0051.
