Stellenbosch hosts record school mass choir STELLENBOSCH will host a record 700-strong mass choir drawn from 16 schools at its annual Heritage Day celebrations on 24 September.

A special stage will be constructed for the seven secondary and nine primary schools participating in the Kruiskerk.

The mass choir will conducted by the well-known choir conductor, Prof Johan de Villiers.

The choir will be performing English, Afrikaans and Xhosa songs.

The mass choir is but one of the numerous all-inclusive community events planned by the Stellenbosch Heritage Project committee for Heritage Day. The committee aims to set new standards for South African heritage celebrations,

facilitate social cohesion and create an environment where everyone feels at home.

It operates under die auspices of the Stellenbosch Municipality and the University of Stellenbosch.

“I am so proud to be part of a project that promotes unity and social cohesion in the town and involves the children which will be our next generation of leaders,” says Bianca Joseph, Stellenbosch Heritage Project choir chief.

“We are also particularly grateful for the financial assistance of the Distell Foundation known for their support of the arts. Our main logistical challenge is to transport and feed 700 kids and the support I have from university volunteers is also heart-warming,” Participating secondary

schools include Bloemhof Girls’ High, Stellenzicht, Kayamandi, Stellenbosch, Kylemore, Cloetesville and Makupula High.

The primary schools are Cloetesville, Groendal, Idasvalley, Ikaya, Klapmuts, Koelenhof, Pieter Langeveldt, Vlottenburg and Weber Gedenk.

“We are proud to be part of an initiative which will enable all Stellenbosch communities to improve the understanding of each others cultures and share their love of music,” says Irma Albers, Distell Foundation arts and culture coordinator.

Tickets for the mass choir event cost R40 for adults and R20 for children under 12 years.

They will be sold at all participating schools, but can also be obtained from Reinette Meiring at 082 717 0743.

The force behind the Stellenbosch mass choir are Distell Foundation art and culture coordinator Irma Albers, conductor Prof Johan de Villiers and Stellenbosch Heritage Project choir chief Bianca Joseph.

Safety first: crime­prevention tips for women IT’s a disturbing reality that women are more vulnerable to crime, because many criminals view women as soft targets.

With August being Women’s Month, ADT Security is offering a number of tips to help women stay safe.

Rob Dale, managing director of ADT Security Western Cape, says the key to safety is always to err on the side of caution.

“Tell someone where you are going and the time you expect to return,” Dale advises.

“Save to your mobile phone or memorise the details of the person to be contacted in the event

of an emergency.

“Remember, less is more when it comes to wearing flashy jewellery and carrying cash. Also, if you are taking a handbag, carry it close to your body and not dangling by the straps.”

Dale goes on to warn against the dangers of becoming distracted.

“A distracted person is an easy target,” says Dale. “Often women have several things to take care of at once, and it’s vital that they remain alert at all times.

“Be aware of people around you when heading towards your

vehicle, especially at places such as shopping centres and petrol stations. Ensure that you take a moment to check the street before pulling into a driveway, be it your own or a friend’s.”

If you are driving, Dale says the first thing to do once you are inside your vehicle is ensure that all the doors are locked.

“Never drive with a handbag or any other valuable items on a seat or in the view of anyone looking into your vehicle from the outside.

“Try and make your car a mobile-free zone,” Dale recommends, “so you can concentrate

on your surroundings and keeping you and your family safe.”

Of utmost importance is to trust your instincts.

“Women have great intuition and should listen to their instincts,” Dale says. “If someone or something makes you feel uneasy, avoid the individual and leave the area.”

By following these precautions, Dale says, women can develop highly effective safety habits that will assist them in avoiding dangerous situations.

“I encourage women not only to use these tips, but to share them with family and friends.”

Boost environmental education A new facility geared towards education on the environment was officially opened last Friday at the Delvera wine estate on the R44 just outside Stellenbosch.

The new Simonsberg Environmental Education Centre (SEE) aims to formalise access to the Greater Simonsberg Conservacy, a non-profit venture started by 28 different farms in the area to protect endangered species and manage land use in a sustainable manner.

The Cape Winelands District Municipality provided funding of R200 000 for the project. Councillor Kobus du Plessis of the municipality spoke about the importance of education at the opening of the centre. “We cannot afford to put more pressure on the environment,” he said.

“We need to learn how to live in harmony with our environment.

We depend on it for our food, and need to understand the system in which we live.”

Several organisations concerned with protecting the environment and creating greater awareness about the importance of biodiversity were also present at the launch. Hank Chalmars of Eagle Encounters showed off some owls, a falcon and a large eagle, much to the excitement of the children at the education centre.

Members of the Cape Leopard Trust and CapeNature were also present to educate visitors about their projects. Arnelle van Noie of CapeNature has high hopes for the initiative, and is working in cooperation with the conserv-

Field Band sorg vir groot vermaak op Mandeladag DIE Cape Whalers Field Band van Cloetesville het onlangs heelwat harte bly gemaak met ’n puik musiekvertoning op Mandeladag (18 Julie).

Hulle het inwoners van Cloetesville met vrolike musiek vermaak tydens hul 67 minute van dienslewering aan die gemeenskap.

Vir die Cape Whalers Field Band was die besoek aan Huis Ebenhaeser beslis die hoogtepunt.

Volgens Melissa Davids, ’n Field Band-lid vir die afgelope tien jaar, was dit ’n wonderlike ervaring. “Dit was iets wat ek nog nooit voorheen gedoen het nie. Dit was ’n riem onder die hart om te sien hoe die mense se gesigte ophelder toe ons met die eerste lied wegtrek. Van hulle het selfs vergeet dat hulle oud of siek is en het lekker gedans.”

Die Cape Whalers oefen Donderdae en Vrydae ná skool by Hoërskool Cloetesville.

Hulle beywer hulle op die oomblik om skoolorkeste te vestig en nooi alle leerlinge van 8 tot 21 jaar uit om by die projek aan te sluit.

Vir meer inligting bel die projek-offisier, Belinda Jackson by 083 500 9871 of 2 bemjack@gmail.com.

“We want to plant the seed with children about how important nature is, and how they can get involved in protecting it,” said Van Noie.

The centre will be open seven days a week, initially by appoint-

ment only. Weekend workshops will get going in the coming months, and members of the public – particularly schools – are encouraged to book visits in the interim.

Among the facility’s offerings are a well-stocked library and periodic displays by eco-friendly

artisans and members of the conservation community.

Themed environmental weeks will commence in 2013, with school groups as their specific focus.

Women’s Health Season kicks off The Western Cape Department of Health has just kicked off its “Women’s Health Season”.

During this drive, which stretches to September, all primary healthcare services focus attention on promoting the health and wellbeing of women.

Health MEC Theuns Botha says that, in terms of the millennium development goals laid out by the World Health Organization, women’s health is among the top

five health priorities across the globe.

“Focus areas for improving women’s health include increasing the cervical cancer screening coverage to 67,3%, increasing the number of women who seek antenatal care before the 20th week of their pregnancy to almost 60%, and reducing the delivery rate of women under the age of 18 years to 6,4%,” Botha says.

Women across the province are

encouraged to make use of services designed to protect them against key health risks.

These services include screening for the early detection of cervical and breast cancer; protection against unwanted pregnancy, HIV and other STIs; free pregnancy testing; and comprehensive antenatal care.

These services are offered at all public health clinics throughout the Western Cape.

An easy side for any braai

SPOIL the women in your life by doing the cooking! Here is a recipe for an easy “paptert” to go with a braai this Women’s Day. Ingredients Porridge 1,5 L warm water 500 g maize meal 1 tbsp salt 2 tbsp butter 1 tsp dried sweet basil Filling 2 packets bacon, diced 3 tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 punnet mushrooms, sliced 4 cups cheddar cheese, grated Fresh basil, chopped 2 tbsp sugar Sunflower oil and butter for frying Salt and pepper to taste Method Porridge ) Pour the water into a big pot; add salt, butter and sweet basil, and mix. ) Add maize meal and stir (using warm water instead of boiling water helps to avoid lumps). ) Put the pot on a stove plate set to low, cover with a lid and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

Filling ) Sauté the onion and bacon in sunflower oil and but-

ter until the onions are translucent; add the mushrooms, then the tomato, sugar, salt and pepper.

Putting it together ) Coat a large oven dish with non-stick spray. Spoon half the porridge into the dish and even out with a big spoon. ) Spoon half the filling over the porridge, evening it out again. ) Sprinkle half the fresh, chopped basil over, then half the grated cheese. ) Spoon the rest of the porridge over the filling. (Be careful not to mess up the filling – if the porridge is too thick to comfortably spoon over, mix a little water into the pot and stir until it’s fully incorporated.) ) Once again, spoon over the rest of the filling, finish with the remaining basil and cheese, and grind a little black pepper over if you want. ) Put the dish in a 180 °C oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. ) Let the dish stand for about 10 minutes before serving; this will allow it to set.

Notes It’s very important to get the pap’s consistency right. If it’s runny, it won’t set easily – but you don’t want it too thick, either, because this makes it hard to do the layers neatly.

Save a life: become a donor THE Organ Donor Foundation (ODF), through its Save Seven Lives drive, would like to encourage everybody to become organ donors this month.

In addition to being Women’s Month, August is also celebrated as Organ Donor Month.

One person can save as many as seven lives through becoming an organ donor. This includes the use of one heart, two lungs, two kidneys, one liver and one pancreas.

The ODF would like to take this awareness drive one step further – by

encouraging everyone who signs up as an organ donor this month to tell seven more people about it.

The foundation would like to reach a target of 10 000 registered organ donors this August.

There are over 4 300 people throughout South Africa currently awaiting an organ transplant. Fewer than 600 transplants are performed each year, and many adults and children die waiting for a life-saving transplant.

An even greater problem is the increasing number of people worldwide who die of end-stage organ fail-

ure. In South Africa, this number can be as high as thousands every month.

These are the unfortunate people who do not qualify for life-saving transplantation or preparatory life support before transplantation.

They are sent home to die without any hope whatsoever.

The ODF is passionate in its drive to help these unfortunate individuals stand a better chance to receive a livesaving transplant.

For further information, or to register as an organ donor, please visit www.odf.org.za or call the toll-free hotline on 0800 22 66 11.

Word ’n filmster ’n NUWE inspirerende Afrikaanse film word binnekort in Kaapstad verfilm.

Die draaiboek, gebaseer op ware gebeure, is geskryf deur Stefan Enslin en die film word vervaardig deur Enslin en Mart-Marie Schoeman. Die vervaardigers beskou die film as ’n eerste van sy soort vir Suid-Afrika en Afrikaans omdat die storie ’n sterk kunssinnige en musiekaanslag het.

Die vervaardigers is op soek na jong kinders tussen die ouderdomme van 12 en 14 jaar, veral ’n jong seun wat kan toneel en klavier speel vir die hoofrol.

“Die draaiboek is gebaseer op ’n ware gebeurtenis wat hom in 1996 afgespeel het. Die jong seun se storie het my vir jare bygebly. Die ontwikkeling van die draaiboek het ongeveer 18 maande geneem.

“In die tyd, het ek by soveel van die hoofkarakter se ondervindings aanklank gevind en ek glo dat die publiek ook met die storie sal kan vereenselwig. Ons glo dat die film die potensiaal het om lewens op eie bodem, asook internasio-

naal, aan te raak en te verander,” sê Enslin Die film se titel is Verskietende Stêr en die baie bekende Regardt van den Bergh gaan die regie behartig.

“Dit is ’n ontsaglike voorreg om saam met die legendaries Regardt van den Bergh te werk op die film. Hy is die perfekte keuse om hierdie besonderse storie te rig in die regte rigting. Ons vertrou dat sy ongeëwenaarde ondervinding die film se standaard sal lig tot ver bo uitstekend,” sê Schoeman Die vervaardigers is tans in gesprek met verskeie van Suid-Afrika se bekende akteurs en aktrises vir die volwasse rolle.

Oudisies vir die hoofrol van die seun, asook heelwat ander kinderrolle, vind te Goodwood, Kaapstad plaas in September 2012.

It is therefore easy to understand why, for many working people, shopping for and preparing healthy meals and snacks are things very few can fit into a busy day.

Celynn Erasmus, a registered dietician and wellness consultant for Fedhealth and Longevity’s 2012 Wellovation Weight Management Challenge, has a number of easy tips and guidelines aimed at assisting people manage the challenge of eating on the run.

She says that, in today’s fast-paced world, it is important to learn how to snack smartly using readily available foods that have been combined correctly.

“Smart snacking stabilises blood sugar levels, helping to manage inappropriate food cravings as well as maintaining metabolic weight, promoting weight management.”

A smart snack, she explains, should fit into the palm of your hand, and should contain about 500 kilojoules for women and 750 kilojoules for men.

The carbohydrate content should be no more than 25 g for women and 35 g for men; the fat content should be less than 10 g; and the fibre con-

tent should be at least 2 g per snack.

Examples include one to two pieces of fresh fruit, 40 g or a small handful of dried fruit, small health bars, seeds, trail mix, a small handful of lean biltong, or two cups of airpopped popcorn.

She advises people to steer clear of foods that are high in sodium, sugar, or saturated and total fat, and those that are virtually devoid of fibre and vitamins.

“Although there is a drive by some companies to supply healthier food and snack options, a lot of the foods on offer in vending machines, on office trolleys or in canteens remain unhealthy. If eaten on a regular basis, they can cause havoc with your blood sugar levels.

“This can result in decreased energy levels, irritability, poor concentration, weight gain and an increased risk of diabetes, heart attacks, stroke, gout, high blood pressure, cancer and many other illnesses.”

On the home front, she suggests keeping your kitchen stocked with healthy foods as this makes it a lot easier to quickly assemble a balanced meal when the need arises.

A time-saving idea Erasmus imparts is to cook food in advance.

“Roasting vegetables in larger quantities and keeping them chilled

makes for quick reheating, and they can be easily added to meals or used in salads.”

All in all, Erasmus says there is much people can easily incorporate into their lifestyles to assist them on the path to health and fitness.

“Although diet plays a pivotal role in determining overall wellness and health, exercise is just as important.

As much as people try to eat healthily, they should also be making time to exercise, even if it means doing a few stretches to relieve muscle tension.”

Book now for a wine-fuelled vineyard run LACE up those trainers and join the colourful parade of wine lovers among the vineyards for the third Cellar2Cellar Trail Run & Wine Experience in the picturesque Paradyskloof outside Stellenbosch on Saturday 8 September.

Starting and finishing at Blaauwklippen off the R44 between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, the 12 km trail winds its way through the vineyards of Vriesenhof, Dornier, Kleinood, Waterford and Stellenzicht.

In addition to the water offered along the route, the six participating wine farms will

encourage the intrepid trail runners to linger and taste their wines.

Talented musicians will add to the festive atmosphere along the route.

The Trail Run & Wine Experience begins at 08:30 with a staggered start every 10 minutes to ensure a leisurely atmosphere at the cellar tastings.

More serious participants can opt for the trail run without the wine experience; this starts at 08:00.

Wine experience participants who swap their usual running gear for fancy dress costumes will be able to “win their weight in wine” – the top prize for the most spectacu-

larly dressed entrant comprising wines from participating estates.

The overall winners of the more serious men’s and women’s trail run will also win wine from the participating estates.

Participants will be able to buy wine en route; it’ll be delivered to them at the finish at Blaauwklippen.

At this wine estate the festivities will continue with a farmer’s market, entertainment and pamper treatments by therapists from the Mangwanani Africa Day Spa. Crèche facilities will be provided for the event by New Beginnings Montessori School for Small Children.

Their presence will enable parents to leave their children at the start and collect them once they have completed the circular route.

The Trail Run & Wine Experience costs R295.

The trail run without the winetastings costs R120 per person.

The Cellar2Cellar Trail Run & Wine Experience will be limited to 600 people, so it is important to enter as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
