Laughter, the happydrug Laughter sessions are offered at no charge to two worthy organisations once a week for six weeks, beginning in March. The duration of each session is approximately one hour. Laughter has many benefits beside the joy of laughter. It strengthens the immune system, combats negative effects of stress and is a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety. It alleviates high blood pressure and asthma and increases tolerance to pain. In addition, it improves people’s sense of humour, self confidence and communication skills. Laughter releases endorphins (the body’s natural happy-drug) and increases the flow of oxygen to the brain and body. Laughter yoga was started by a medical doctor, Dr Madan Kataria from India, in 1995 and today there are thousands of laugh-

ter clubs in more than 75 countries worldwide. The sessions consist of playful exercises that allow one to laugh for no reason, interspersed with deep breathing and relaxation. Groups of up to 20 people will not only benefit on a personal level but also as a team. The sessions will be led by Donna Godfrey. She is a freelancer in broadcasting, has worked in prisons in human rights capacity and had much involvement in community upliftment over many years. Due to limited time available, only two groups can be accommodated and will be chosen based on the greatest need. Organisations, schools or individuals who would like to inject positive benefits for a group and attend laughter sessions can contact Donna on 021 863 2680 or e-mail donnag@telkomsa.net.

Drakenstein Gazette

Ellen Pakkies inspires Paarl Ellen Pakkies, the mother who strangled her son due to his tik addiction and abuse, recently visited the community in Ward 26 in Paarl to educate them about the dangers of methamphetamine (tik) by sharing her life story. As a mother, Ellen had to watch her son Adam’s life disintegrate as he became progressively addicted to tik, going from a promising teenager to one with no direction in life and only one mission to secure his next high. Pakkies encouraged the youth to treat their parents with respect and to

love them. “I can just give God all the praise and glory for turning my life around and for the strength that He has given me to continue my life journey because I had a very hard and painful life,” said Pakkies. Councillor Wendy Philander, Ward 26 Councillor, said having Pakkies as a guest speaker was a true blessing for the people in Ward 26, because drug addiction, especially tik, in various communities is way out of control. “Parents and children are now informed about where they can get help to combat this monster called tik, be-

cause it is ruining our children’s lives and their future. “We all learnt from the Ellen Pakkies tragedy and now we can only make things better in our communities by taking hands and fighting this together,” said Councillor Philander. Marlene Michell from the South African National Council on Alcoholism (SANCA Paarl) told the residents of Ward 26 where they can get help locally. SANCA Paarl is situated at 34 Lady Grey Street (Landmark Building, next to the Pasadena Spur) and their contact number is 021 872 9671.

SPEEDING: High speed driving was again the reason for a accident on the Klein Drakenstein Road last weekend. According to an eye-witness the driver of the red Toyota came barrelling down the street, while the Ford Focus was travelling at a slow speed. Skid-marks are visible and stretch for more than 20 metres. No one was seriously injured during the accident. The police would like to ask the public to adhere to traffic signs and to drive safely.

Paarlhospitaal het eie borsmelkbank vir vroeggebore babas IN Paarl-hospitaal is borsmelk goud werd as dit kom by die red van die mees kwesbare, vroeggebore babatjies. Die neonatale eenheid by Paarl-hospitaal versorg gereeld babas wat soms tot twee en ’n half maande te vroeg gebore is en enigiets van 600 g weeg. Menslike borsmelk is oor en oor bewys om die beste melk vir babas en veral premature babas te wees. Premature babas se immuunstelsels is nog nie goed genoeg ontwikkel om hulle teen infeksies te bekerm nie. Borsmelk bevat witbloedselle, teenliggame, hormone en ensieme wat help om infeksie te beveg. Formule-melk bevat nie hierdie bestanddele nie en as ’n premature baba formulemelk gevoer word, het hulle ’n ses keer hoër risiko om derminfeksie te kry wat dodelik kan wees. Selfs al is die infeksie nie dodelik nie, veroorsaak dit dikwels erge skade aan byvoorbeeld die longe, oë en brein. Wanneer ’n moeder – meesal onverwags – geboorte skenk aan ’n premature baba, is sy nie altyd fisies of emosioneel voorbe-

rei om genoeg melk vir haar premature baba te kan voorsien nie. Omdat die nuwe moeders dan dikwels angstig raak omdat hulle te min melk het, ontstaan ’n bose siklus wat veroorsaak dat hul melkproduksie net nog minder word. In hierdie gevalle – veral by mikro-premature babas (dié met ’n geboortegewig van minder as 1 kg), is die tydelike gebruik van skenker-borsmelk uiters voordelig. Dit is wel so dat ’n baba se eie moeder se melk die beste vir hom of haar is, maar enige moedersmelk kan lewensreddend vir hierdie klein babas wees. Paarl-hospitaal het begin met ’n borsmelkbank, waar hulle skenker-moeders identifiseer en probeer om ’n voorraad borsmelk op te bou om in noodgevalle te gebruik. Daar is heelwat vereistes waaraan voornemende skenker moet voldoen, maar onthou, jou borsmelk kan ’n baba se lewe red. Alle belangstellendes en veral swanger of borsvoedende moeders word aangemoedig om vir dr. Fischer te skakel op 072 268 5857.

Starguide for 8 February 2013 CAPRICORN

(22 December - 21 January)

Your concentration is excellent now and you are serious about your work. You want to focus on real accomplishment and avoid frivolity and distractions. You may fruitfully tackle difficult, disagreeable tasks or work that usually frustrates you, for your patience and ability to do painstaking work is brought out now.

AQUARIUS

(21 January - 20 February)

Doors open and new opportunities for personal and professional growth present themselves. Any initiative or action you feel inclined to take at this time is likely to lead to a positive outcome for you. Partnerships or joining with others for mutual benefit is favored. Your energy level is high; this is a good time for athletics, especially team sports.

PISCES

(20 February - 21 March)

Physical thrills and excitement have a strong appeal for you now, and you want to do something new and out of the ordinary. You also have a lot of energy and quick reflexes. A vigorous game of racquetball or tennis or some other fastmoving competitive sport would be a good outlet for you now.

ARIES

(21 March - 21 April)

A furious battle of wills is quite possible, for you are fired up, impatient, aggressive, and inclined to put your own interests and desires ahead of anything else. You may also have to stand up for your rights against some fierce competitor. Also, you can't sit still right now and hasty, abrupt, impulsive action may result in accidents.

TAURUS

(21 April - 21 May)

This is a time for getting a little loose and wild with friends, going dancing, or doing something out of the ordinary that is stimulating and fun. You meet interesting new people and are more open to people who are quite different from yourself. An opportunity for a romance may arise which is likely to be exciting, though short-lived.

GEMINI

(21 May - 22 June)

CANCER

(22 June - 23 July)

A sense of proportion, reasonable limits, and practicality is what is most apt to be missing and, like Icarus, your soaring aspirations may end badly. On a health note, an excessive accumulation of water and problems with your liver are possible, especially if you eat and drink excessively.

LEO

(23 July - 24 August)

You are in a festive, partying mood and just want to play and share a good time with your friends. Community social events and fellowship are very rewarding now. Also, at this time it is hard for you to say no to food, drink, or extravagances in any form. You are also very generous and tolerant toward others.

VIRGO

(24 August - 23 September)

LIBRA

(23 September - 23 October)

This is a good time to schedule social activities or even business meetings where tact and friendliness would be a plus. You act as a diplomat and harmonizer between people with differing viewpoints. Also, attending cultural events such as an art show or a play is favored.

SCORPIO

(23 October - 23 November)

Your vitality and energy level are at a high point. You are in an ambitious and dynamic phase of your life. You have an especially good ability to motivate others. You have little patience with bureaucratic obstacles, inefficiency and evasiveness, and you boldly challenge these inadequacies.

SAGITTARIUS

(23 November - 22 December)

Do you have the lunchbox blues? January is over and resolutions are fading but as the school year settles in, are you making sure your children eat the right food at home as well as on the playground? Tired of trying to come up with creative lunchbox ideas for the kids? Try dairy! Not only are there tons of dairy products available that you can quickly and easily include in school lunches but according to the Consumer Education Project (CEP) of Milk SA, dairy is a critical part of a healthy child’s diet. Maretha Vermaak, the CEP dietitian, says daily dairy intake could reduce the current nutrient gaps in the diets of most South Africans, including those of our children, and protect against chronic diseases in future. There are so many conveniently packaged options to choose from such as low-fat flavoured milks; low-fat drinking yoghurts; yoghurts; cheese wedges, soft cheeses with crackers, cheese sticks and many more. Brighten up your kid’s lunchbox everyday with dairy.

LEMON AND HERB CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Proper care for your nails Unless you can afford to get a manicure every week or two, you need to know some simple tips on how to care for your nails yourself. It isn’t difficult, but it is something many people neglect. Women love to get compliments on their fingernails. All it takes is some routine care. Knowing the proper way to cut your fingernails is the most important. Keep your fingernails short, just past the ends of your fingertips. Long fingernails are pretty and even sexy, but they are impractical. They split and break easily, and it’s hard to get stuff out from under them. Shorter, well-groomed nails are more attractive. Trim fingernails straight across and then curve the edges slightly, matching the curve of your fingertips. Make sure whatever you are using to trim them is sharp. You don’t want to use dull clippers that will tear them. Cleaning your fingernails is as easy as cleaning any other part of your body. Soap and water will remove bacteria and dirt. Using a soft nail brush is a good Take proper care of you hands and nails. way to get under fingernails. You also can remove dirt and anything else that gets like rough, split cuticles.

Little Fighters stel boek bekend Die kinderkankertrust Little Fighters (LFCT) sal op 23 Februarie ’n nuwe boek, Seisoene van die Lewe deur Sandra Uys, om 11:00 bekend stel by Picardie-gasteplaas in die Paarl. Dié organisasie is oorspronklik gestig deur Paarliete Tania Goslett en Thomas Engela, ná die diagnose van kinders binne hul vriendekring in 2010. Sedert die stigting van LFCT het die organisasie, wat steeds in Paarl gebaseer is, gegroei om hulp aan kinders met kanker en hul families ook op nasionale vlak te voorsien. In die hartjie van die Paarl blink hierdie organisasie uit en staan as trotse baken van hoop en waardigheid. Die boek handel in kort oor ’n familie wat hulle seuntjie aan kanker verloor, ’n daaglikse realiteit in Suid-Afrika. Kinderkanker is vir meer kindersterftes verantwoordelik as MIV/vigs, malaria en tuberkulose tesame. Seisoene van die Lewe is ’n boek wat hoort op die elke boekrak as ’n fisiese gestalte van hoop en liefde.

Pierre Rossouw sal optree en sy snit, “1 000 Candles for Baby Reef”, wat hy geskryf het vir ’n kind met kanker, is ingesluit by sy optrede. Eksemplare van die boek sal ook by die bekendstelling te koop aangebied word en die skrywer sal met graagte die boek onderteken. Van stapel gestuur in samewerking met LFCT, is hierdie boek nie net ’n bewusmaking van die worstelinge wat mense dag na dag deurmaak nie, maar ook ’n boek van genesing vir die gesinne wat vasgevang is in die stryd teen kinderkanker. Sandra Uys skenk ook alle opbrengste van die betrokke boek aan LFCT wat dit hul mikpunt maak om kinders en gesinne wat deur kanker geraak word, finansieel en emosioneel te ondersteun. Kaartjies is beskikbaar by LFCT teen R100 per persoon, wat vingerhappies en drinkgoed insluit. Skakel gerus met Mandie op 073 729 6155 of per epos, mandie@littlefighters.org.za

Jy het die eerste groot stap geneem om jou eie beleggingsportefeulje te begin, maar wat nou? As ’n mens vra wat jou doelwitte is, is jou antwoord maklik: Maksimum groei! Jou doelwitte moet egter baie meer spesifiek wees. Kom ons aanvaar, hipoteties gesproke, jy het tans sowat R900 000 beskikbaar om te belê en jy kom tot die besef dat hierdie kapitaal binne 15 jaar tot R5 miljoen moet groei om jou in staat te stel om af te tree op ’n wyse wat sal verseker dat jy jou huidige leefwyse sal kan voortsit. Dit klink maklik genoeg, of hoe? Slegs 12% per jaar: Maklik! Jy begin rondsoek na fondse of bateklasse wat 12% groei per jaar gelewer het oor die afgelope jaar of twee, onder die indruk dat dit voldoende sal wees. Wel, nie regtig nie. Jy is in werklikheid nog net halfpad. Jy het jou beleggingsdoelwitte uiteengesit, maar jy moet nog steeds die risikovlak identifiseer. Dan die batetoewysing opstel wat in lyn sal wees met hierdie beleggingsopbrengsdoelwitte. Om die 12% groei per jaar te haal, moet jy bereid wees om ’n geannualiseerde volatiliteit (standaardafwyking) van sowat 11% per jaar in jou portefeulje te hê. Dit beteken dat jy bereid moet wees om ’n styging of daling van 11% in jou portefeulje te sien oor enige gegewe 12 maande-tydperk. Bate-toekenning is die belangrikste besluit wat jy kan neem. Studies toon dat meer as 80% van die variasie van ’n portefeulje met verloop van tyd toegeskryf kan word aan bate-toekenning. )Stap 1: Die risikobesluit Hoe verder jy van aftrede is, hoe meer gewig kan jy aan aandele allokeer. Jou aandelegeld be-

Aandelegeld van 70-75% is ’n goeie norm vir ’n jong mens. )Stap 2: Keuse van bateklasse In bateklas-seleksie, soos in baie ander fasette van die lewe, is eenvoud die wagwoord. Jy wil diversifikasie hê sonder onnodige oorvleueling of oortolligheid. )Stap 3: Om die koek op te sny Die volgende stap is om die gewigte te bepaal. Dit is ’n ander manier om te sê dat jy moet besluit hoe om die koek op te sny, deur jou portefeulje te verdeel in verskillende persentasies van verskeie tipes beleggings. Hierdie besluit moet in lyn wees met jou doelstellings vir opbrengs en risikotoleransie. As alternatief kan jy altyd die raaiwerk uit die diversifikasiepatrone haal en in versigtige batetoewysingsfondse belê.

down of your feet.

Reregister for pension There was much confusion recently amongst pensioners who receive government subsidies. They were told to re-register for the subsidies, but many told the Drakenstein Gazette that they were sent from pillar to post by Sassa. Drakenstein Gazette managed to acquire the following information for these pensioners: Re-applications for pensioners in Paarl-East started on 14 January and will continue until 23 February at the Hugenote Community centre from 07:00 until 19:00. All applicants must bring their proof of identity, letter of

proof of residence and telephone number along. Residents who receive their subsidies at the Bessieboord in Klein-Drakenstein must re-register at the Ebenezer Mission Church. Paarl-West residents can register at the Posduifklub from 18 February until 2 March. Wellington residents can register at the Wellington town hall from 18 February until 28 March from 07:00 to 19:00. Residents who have to re-register all received a letter informing them of this important notice. If you have any enquiries, please contact the Sassa office at 021 871 1682.

Blouvlei vier half eeu! DEVIDEAN MOSES Blouvlei Primêre Skool wat op die bekende Perdeskoen roete van Wellington geleë is, vier vanjaar hul 50ste bestaansjaar. Die grond van Blouvlei is deur Charl Cillie geskenk met die uitsluitlike doel om ’n kerk vir die gemeenskap op te rig. Die gebou het vir tien jaar as kerk vir Blouvlei gemeenskap gedien, wat ook ’n lykhuis ingesluit het. Daar het ’n ernstige behoefte aan ’n skool in dié gebied ontstaan, toe die Blouvlei-bevolking vinnig gegroei het. Die skool het in Januarie 1963 sy deure vir leer en onderrig geopen met M. Julies as die eerste skoolhoof. Die leerlingtal het algaande gegroei en daar moes nog ’n klaskamer aangebou word. Die uitbreidings het natuurlik gepaard gegaan met vooruitgang op plase, aangesien meer en meer mense hulle in die Blouvlei-area gevestig het. In 1969 het die getalle so toegeneem dat ’n vierde onderwyser aangestel moes word. Dit was die begin van die middagskofklasse, maar klaskamerruimte het toe ’n uitdaging geword. In 1985 is drie mobiele- eenhede aan die skool geskenk, sonder krag was elke seisoen ’n uitdaging. Die landbougemeenskap, onder leiding van die NG-gemeente Wellington, het die proses vir die oprig van die skool aan die gang gesit. Die skool se leergang het gestrek vanaf gr.1 tot gr.5. “Deur die jare het baie oud studente van

Blouvlei hoë hoogtes behaal”, vertel huidige skoolhoof Jerry Swart. “’n Voedingskema is ook ingestel wat die kinders verskriklik opgewonde gemaak het. Die skool waardeer die skenkings wat ons gereeld ontvang van die boere en ons dorps-gemeenskap”, sê Swarts. Vandag bestaan Blouvlei uit 120 leerlinge met ses onderwysers en strek vanaf gr.0 tot gr.7. Met die afskop van die feesjaar het die skool ’n dankseggingsdiens in die VGK Gemeente

Wellington gehou om alle oudstudente en die gemeenskap te verwelkom tot die feesjaar. Die skool bied vanjaar ook ’n Valentynsdans op 15 Februarie, sportdag, basaar, potjiekoskompetisie, gospelfees, drama-opvoering, gholfdag, dinee met orkes, en hul jaarlikse diplomaplegtigheid aan om fees te vier. Mej Blouvlei word op Vrydag 22 Februarie om 19:00 in die CPUT Saal gekroon. Vir navrae, bel die skool by 021 864 2110 of stuur ’n e-pos na admin@blouvleips.wcape.school.za.

Kavaliers wil op alle silinders vuur DIE Regent Boland Kavaliers sal Saterdag op alle silinders wil vuur wanneer hulle die magtige DHL Stormers pak in ’n opwarmingswedstryd by die Kaapstad-stadion in Groenpunt. Die wedstryd beloof om ’n heerlike skouspel op te lewer, met die Kavaliers wat voorberei vir die Vodacombeker-kompetisie en die Stormers wat skaaf vir die Super Rugby-reeks. Nóg ’n wedstryd wat lekker opwinding gaan bied, is die voorwedstryd tussen die Boland Uitnodigingspan en die DHL WP Vodacombekerspan. Dié wedstryd sal meer duidelikheid gee oor die diepte waaroor beide spanne beskik. Abe Davids, hoofafrigter van die Regent Boland Kavaliers, is baie bewus van die uitdaging wat op hom en sy span wag. “Ons weet ons speel teen ’n baie sterk span Saterdag, maar hoe dan nou anders as om jouself teen die bestes te meet? “Ons het ’n goeie voorseisoen agter die rug en die spelers lyk skerp op die oefenveld. Die manne is fiks en hulle is lus vir speel. Die wedstryd gaan dus vir ons ’n goeie aanduiding gee oor waar ons werklik staan in terme van ons voorbereiding, met die Vodacombeker-kompetisie wat al nader kruip.” Davids is van mening dat die grootste uitdaging gaan wees om die wedstrydplan deeglik uit te voer. “Ons verwag dat die Stormers by hul strukture van verlede seisoen gaan hou en dit is beslis iets wat ons in gedagte hou. Vir ons is dit egter belangrik om ons te bepaal by dit wat ons geoefen het en dat ons hou by ons wedstrydplan. Ons wil veral seker maak dat ons goed vaar in die vaste fasette soos die lynstane, skrums en afbreekpunte, terwyl ons verdediging en bewegings agterlangs ook onder die vergrootglas geplaas gaan word. Mannetjies du Plessis, afrigter van die Boland Uitnodigingspan, voel dit is belangrik om vir Boland se klubspelers ’n geleentheid te

JOU MENING

bied om hul staal te toon teen ’n sterk teenstander soos WP. “Ons doelwit met die voorwedstryd is om aan klubspelers blootstelling te gee en om talentvolle spelers te identifiseer wat moontlik in die nabye toekoms vir die Boland Kavaliers kan uitdraf. “Wat voorbereiding aanbetref is ons nog ver van ons ideaal af, maar die twee opwarmingswedstryde teen Durbell en Worcester Villagers het baie gehelp. “Om teen WP se Vodacombekerspan te speel is ’n groot geleentheid vir die manne om hulself teen provinsiale opponente op te weeg en veral ook die kans om in die Kaapstad-stadion te speel, is ’n geleentheid wat min spelers kry”. Eugene Eloff, Boland Rugby se direkteur van afrigting, sien baie uit na Saterdag se wedstryd: “Die geleentheid waarvoor almal gewag het is hier, maar as ’n span is ons nie naïef nie en ons is bewus van die taai kompetisie wat op ons wag. Dit is egter ’n ongelooflike geleentheid om onsself teen ’n Superrugby-span op te weeg. “Ons mikpunt is om die positiewe uit die wedstryd te haal ter voorbereiding vir die Vodacombekeren Curriebeker-kompetisie.” Saterdag se hoofwedstryd skop af om 14:45. Die voorwedstryd begin om 12:30 en die hekke open 11:00. Kaartjies (R50 en R75) is te koop by Computicket en by die Shoprite en Checkers Money Market-toonbanke. Die Boland-span vir Saterdag is: 15.
