Make a difference By Chantal Thurlby

Currently too many bad things are in the spotlight and almost all of the goodhearted and selfless deeds in our communities go unnoticed. Instead of complaining about all the things that have gone wrong in society, and are continuing to go wrong daily, why can’t we all find it within ourselves to stand up and make a change? We at tame TIMES take our hats off to those who make a difference, in particular to one man and his selfless actions this past month. Sunny Monday, 14 October turned out to be a good day to make a difference, as a resident of Impala Park, Mr Ehlers O’Connell proved. A colony of bees had made themselves a beehive in one of the municipal water meters on Schackleton Road. The many requests to the local municipality to sort out this problem had not been adhered to, so Mr O’Connell decided not to wait for something to be done about this dangerous situation and instead made a difference himself. Mr O’Connell has experience in the handling of bees, which gave him the courage and confidence to take care of the situation. Dressed in and armed with all the necessary equipment, Mr O’Connell destroyed this huge beehive and at the same time made the area safe for the residents. Mr Brian Miller, who was witness to this good deed, spread the word of this ‘Make a Difference’ deed via the CPF Community WhatsApp discussion group. This resulted in requests for Mr O’Connell to destroy various other dangerous beehives in the area. Just days before this good gesture, the BN CPF Sector 1 held their quarterly community meeting. Denise Curry, CPF Sector 1 chairperson had said, “The SAPS, CPF and community must work together as a team in the fight against crime and to make a difference.” She also challenged all residents to stop complaining and rather get involved and make a difference themselves. Well done Mr O’Connell. This is a good example of what can be achieved if we all decide to take up the challenge and try to make a difference.

Boksburg, Commissioner Street, 1887.

Soos wat die geval is met baie dorpe en stede in die Witwatersrand, is Boksburg sy bestaan verskuldig aan die ontdekking van eers goud en later steenkool. Boksburg, die tweede oudste stad in die Witwatersrand (na Johannesburg), is in 1887 vernoem na die destydse Suid Afrikaanse Staatsekretaris, Dr Edward Bok. Die huidige munisipale area van Boksburg het voor 1860 grootliks deel gevorm van vier plase naamlik Leeuwpoort, Klippoortjie, Klipfontein en Driefontein. Na die ontdekking van goud in Elsburg het President Paul Kruger die bevel gegee dat Leeuwpoort, Driefontein en Klipfontein se grense terug geskuif moet word om plek te maak vir ‘n nuwe tentedorp, hierdie dorp het bekend gestaan as Boksburg en het uit 1000 tente bestaan. Een van Boksburg se bekendste landmerke, Boksburg Meer, is in 1889 deur Montague White beplan en gebou. Die meer het vir amper 2 jaar leeg gestaan en het bekend gestaan as “White’s Foley”, tot die groot reën van 1891 die meer, volgens gerugte, amper oornag vol gemaak het. Die meer is hierdie maand, 49 jaar gelede verewig in geskiedenis met die grusame moord van Catherine Burch verbind. Haar onthoofde liggaam is op 27 Oktober 1964 in ‘n tas ontdek. Dit het die polisie amper 4 jaar gevat om die identiteit van die slagoffer te bevestig. Na sy as Mev Catherine Burch geïdentifiseer is het die ondersoek na haar man, Ronald Burch, gelei. Toe polisielede op 27 November 1968 op Burch se skuilplek by 65 Berea Straat in Bertrams toeslaan, het hy sy eie lewe geneem deur hom self dood te skok. Tot vandag toe kon die polisie nie vasstel wat die presiese oorsaak van Mev Burch se dood was nie.

This Day in History

To start off this week’s note I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate a very special work colleague and friend on her recent happy news - she is pregnant! We are all really stoked for you Jo!

you have lost a dear friend, family member or almost did. Just know that with the broad research spectrum we have in this day and age we are able to save more lives, and that you are not alone.

Well, a lot has happened in the last two weeks since we last spoke and we would just like to clear up any confusion that our ‘missing’ newspaper might have caused. Unfortunately there was an issue at our printers and last Friday’s issue couldn’t be printed; but do not fret, we are back and even more fierce than before.

On a lighter note. We had our annual Dragon Boat race this past weekend. We got soaking wet and only placed 4th, but the day was sunny, the vibe was fantastic and we had yet another chance to bond as a team and to do something different. Thank you to the team at tame TIMES for making this weekend successful. As for the team that went to Jozi Marathon at 4:00 on Sunday morning: you guys are brilliant and congratulations on the water point win! Please see the full story on the back page.

We decided to dedicate an entire page to our most important generation: our children. So please see page 8 for Stuff for Kids. As we are still in October (breast cancer month) there is another educational feature on page 10 to help others understand this unfortunate disease. I am sure many of you have been affected by cancer, whether

Crime Prevention Tip of the Week Know all emergency numbers by heart. It is not a bad idea to duplicate the numbers in a little notebook in your handbag, in case your cell phone is stolen or not available. Trust your instinct. If something or someone makes you uneasy, avoid the person or leave, especially at ATMs. Watch out for people milling around you. This could be a sign that you are about to be robbed. Always carry your handbag in such a way that it will not be easy for someone to snatch it. Don’t wear shoes or clothing that restrict your movement. Never leave your handbag or wallet or purse on a counter and then move away. A few seconds is all the time criminals need to grab it. Reduce time spent at an ATM by having your card out and ready to use. If you leave your desk at work unattended for long periods, get into the habit of asking a colleague to keep an eye on your desk. Before going to bed, pre-set the police station telephone number on your cell or landline. All you have to do in an emergency is to push the redial button.

Oe, die ydelheid van die mens darem! Daardie monster is net so gevaarlik soos die jaloesie outjie. Wanneer die ydelheid-monster haar kop uitsteek (ek het besluit dit is ‘n vroutjie-monster), raak dinge lelik. ‘n Mens se persepsie kan tot so ‘n mate verander word as gevolg van jou eie ydelheid, dat jy soms vergeet waaroor dinge gaan. Ek sien hierdie elke dag, van sport tot welsynswerk, ydelheid kan die saak waarvoor jy staan heeltemal vernietig. Ek glo egter dat daar niks fout mee is om jouself te versorg en op jou beste te wil lyk nie. As ek nie daardie tyd seker gemaak het ek oefen vir ‘n fiets-lyfie (sien ek is ook ydel) en skoon hare en grimering nie, sou ou Gysie my wraggies nooit raakgesien het nie. Maar sy hart was op die regte plek. Al het hy self ure voor die spieël deurgebring, en selfs soms met my baklei om eerste die spieël te gebruik, weet ek hy het met my getrou omdat hy aanvaar het dat als eendag nie meer gaan sit waar dit moet nie – en steeds saam met my in die publiek verskyn. Sy ‘ego’ het nog nooit in die pad gestaan van die eintlike doel van ons huwelik nie – hy het dus nie van die persepsie dat hy vir my lief is gedwaal nie. Al moet ek langer tyd spandeer om myself reg te maak vir ‘n foto, gee hy nie om nie, hy weet waaroor ‘ons’ gaan. Tip: Moenie dat die ydelheid-monster jou van die groter prentjie laat vergeet nie.

Sien julle volgende week

On Friday, 27 September, St Dominic’s School celebrated Cupcake Day in a big way. One year ago, St Dominic’s faced the monumental task of raising R1.6million to be able to send one of their babies, Tiani van Baalen, to America for a life-saving treatment involving a brain tumour. This challenge opened St Dominic’s eyes to the devastation of childhood cancer and their community rallied. Today, Tiani is a healthy, happy threeyear-old.

Cupcakes of Hope was one of the many organisations that provided funds for Tiani’s treatment, and when the request was made for St Dominic’s to support their annual “Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer” fundraiser, the school replied with gusto and an amount of R17 940 was raised. The generosity from St Dominic’s school family was so great that, in addition to their internal fundraiser, they were still able to send over 2 500 gorgeous cupcakes to Carnival Mall to be sold during National Cupcake Day on Saturday, 28 September. Fifty-five of their grade 10 learners descended upon Carnival Mall and under the guidance of facilitators, Elize Albertyn and Maria Da Silva, St Dominic’s Cupcake angels distributed information leaflets, raised awareness and asked for donations towards this valuable cause. Nationwide, an amount of R1 121 352,80 was raised towards assisting children afflicted with cancer. St Dominic’s School would like to thank each and every person who donated money, who baked, donated, transported, bought or sold a cupcake. A special mention must be made of Paul Vieira from Cake Extreme, who donated 500 cupcakes. “When we needed Cupcakes of Hope they were there for us. This was, to use one of their slogans, ‘the sweetest way’ for us to give back to them,” said Paula.

New mobile unit addresses

cervical cancer

PinkDrive unveiled the design for its new Mobile Women’s Health Unit on 11 October at The Pink Tie Dinner held at Emperors Palace. It has been a long time goal of the organisation to provide a full women’s health service and this unit is the first step in that direction. Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa is fully behind public benefit organisation (PBO) Cause Marketing Fundraisers’ PinkDrive initiative, saying that she commends PinkDrive for committing unwaveringly to providing services in communities in SA. “Their health services are sustainable and patient-friendly. It is good to see how PinkDrive works with governmental health departments and institutions to provide these

much needed services to our patients. The Minister of Health has delegated the issues of non-communicable diseases to me and we are prioritising reproductive health issues such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer, as these are the cancers that have the highest lifetime risk rates in South Africa. This unit will help the government to provide services to help detect these cancers in areas that have little access to proper medical healthcare,” Deputy Minister Ramokgopa said. The Unit will now house a gynaecology area for pap smears and examinations, a reception area for administration and a radiology area that is similar to the Mobile Mammography Unit. The unit is being assembled by MSTSV or Mobile Satellite Technologies Specialised Vehicles, a Cape Town-based mobile office construction organisation. The PinkDrive initiative has been running since 2009 with the first Mobile Breast Check Units. In only four short years, they have raised the much needed additional funds and

Breast Assured Marina Schultz is a Hemodynamic Specialist, who currently works with critically ill patients in ICU and theatre. She has been in the medical industry for the last 17 years. Working with patients, having lost her mom at a young age, and having a growth removed herself (nonmalignant) gave her the idea of opening a mastectomy accessories place in Randhart. Marina is a CRM with the Cancer Association of South Africa, and a certain percentage of products sold at Breast Assured will be given to CANSA. Krystle Matias has a passion and a soft spot for working with cancer patients. She has worked in ICU as well as in neonatal ICU as an EEG technician. Krystle is young and bubbly and has been involved in many different charities over the years. Marina and Krystle believe dedication and empathy are your number one, so they will be working closely with Dr Peter Viljoen and his staff from Alberton Orthopaedic in lymphatic drainage, which will be opening in the new year. “Changes to one’s body image is hard and difficult for most women. Our team at Breast Assured are here to help you through this process, where you can find the products you need to restore your body image with respect, privacy and the support of a fully trained staff. Products include comfortable chemo caps, turbans, recovery bras, mastectomy camisoles, breast cancer underarm pillows,

light breast forms and lots more custom made products.” Through Breast Assured, Marina and Krystle will also be working with Silvia from Alberton CANSA. They will also be involved with Reach for Recovery Alberton, which was launched a week ago. Breast Assured already donated underarm pillows for this project. They are based at 99 Michelle Avenue, Randhart (docs at work centre). Telephone: 011 869 0026 or 079 873 4577.

It is our dream to add to this truck by including services that address HIV and Aids, diabetes and hypertension, blood pressure, tuberculosis, and general health. With this in mind, we would like to call on other organisations that may be involved in these areas of medicine to join us to create a full women’s health service offering. We are excited to begin this new endeavour and get out into communities.” For more information about PinkDrive visit www.pinkdrive.co.za or e-mail: Noelene@pinkdrive.co.za.

’ nose r e A dog ‘ c

Cancer affects everyone, not just humans. Dogs and cats can also suffer from cancer. If your pet has any of the following symptoms, it is important to visit the vet if you have any concerns. While no one sign indicates cancer, if two or more are present the animal should be taken to a vet to be properly diagnosed and treated. Signs to watch for include: lumps and bumps, abnormal odours, abnormal discharges, non–healing wounds, weight loss, change in appetite, coughing or difficulty breathing, lethargy and depression, changes in bathroom habits, evidence of pain. Humans too should also take note of the list as early detection saves lives. A big breakthrough in recent years is the fact animals can detect cancer in humans. There have been numerous incidents: Nancy Best noticed her dog kept sniffing and licking her right breast – doctors discovered breast cancer. Wendy

can

Humphreys’ cat kept jumping up and sitting on her right breast whenever she lay down. Wendy said although the breast hurt she thought it was bruised due to Fidge, the cat, jumping up. Her doctor discovered she had breast cancer. In 1989 in London there was a case of a woman who went to the doctor regarding a mole on her leg. It was a small, slightly raised blemish on the skin and she was told it was benign and not to worry. However her dog, half Border Collie and half Doberman Pinscher, would not stop sniffing at the leg. She kept telling the dog to go away but to no avail. A few weeks later, the woman was wearing shorts while working in her garden and the mole was exposed. The dog pounced on her and nipped at the mole trying to bite it off. As the dog had never attacked her before she was concerned, but then realised the dog had ignored all the other moles she had. After seeing a specialist dermatologist the mole was removed and found to be malignant. The doctors said had it been left any longer it would have spread rapidly and killed her. Research has shown that malignant tissue releases chemicals that are different from normal tissue. A human has about 5 million scent glands whereas a dog, depending on the breed, has anywhere from 125 to 300 million. It’s therefore no wonder they can detect certain odours. While these are only a selection of incidents, numerous studies have shown dogs, and to a lesser extent cats, are amazingly accurate at detecting certain cancers by smelling breath or urine samples. The breed of dog doesn’t matter and nor the stage of cancer. While your canine or feline friend won’t be sent to work anytime soon, more research is being done into detecting the scent of cancer. In the next article we’ll concentrate on how pets aid healing.

The launch phase of the campaign took place both online and through live in-stadium activations at all three of the home games that were played over the course of the Castle Lager Rugby Championship. In Soccer City, Newlands and Ellis Park stadium, the Vaseline “Fan Stand” was set up where supporters were encouraged to take a quick survey to determine what type of fans they were. A total of 1 577 fans took part in the survey and pledged to uphold the principles of the Fan Of The Match campaign at the Fan Stand, with a further 1 124 pledging online to bring the total number of pledges to 2 701. This resulted in a decline in incidences of unsportsmanlike

behaviour being reported at the games. “We were operating at almost full capacity for the big final at Ellis Park, with roughly 61 000 Springbok and All Blacks fans in attendance,” said Tarryn Steenekamp, media and PR manager of the Golden Lions Rugby Union. “At games of this nature, when tensions are running high, it is not uncommon to hear of incidences that break out between passionate fans. This Saturday however, I’m happy to say that minimal incidences were reported despite the tense game that played out on-field,” said Steenekamp. As part of the Fan of the Match campaign, two lucky winners and their partners were chosen for the grand prize of attending the final in style. The winners were wined and dined on the Castle Stimela tour on the Rovos Rail, which took them to and from the final. “It really was an incredible experience and a great way to watch the final,” said prize winner Jason Scott. “Also, as an ardent rugby supporter myself, it’s nice to see a brand encouraging positive fan behaviour at games because there really is no better way to watch

The number of signups have been confirmed for the launch phase of the Vaseline “Fan Of The Match” campaign, the key objective of which was to celebrate and reward SA rugby fans who have respect for the game, and the opposition, and who show good sportsmanship instadium.

Marathon: Rain and high spirits

LET THE RACE BEGIN: The start of the Jozi South Half Marathon was filled with excitement.*Photo by Ilze Moore. Sunday morning was wet and cold with many people opting to stay in bed, however that was not the case for the participants of the Jozi South Half Marathon, hosted by Brotherhood Athletics Club, Gold Reef City and tame TIMES. They were all up at the crack of dawn, each prepared for what the weather had in store for them with a smile on their face.

The Kalmer sisters made their mark, running the Jozi South Half Marathon for the first time and both winning. Older sister René won the 21km and Christine the 10km race, both in the senior ladies category. René Kalmer told tame TIMES that she really enjoyed running the streets of Soweto, as it brought back sweet memories of when she won the Soweto Marathon. “It is really a pity about the weather. Luckily while running it cools you down, it was really a nice race.” She applauded all the volunteers, marshals and everyone who assisted in the rain. Lucky Mohale won the 21km in the senior men category with a time of 1h6m3s. David Manja came in second and Sibusiso Nzima third. In the 10km race Derocious Makhobolo took first place, Precious Mashele second and Samuel Matabutha third. Geshashia Gamanda took second place in the 21km senior ladies category, with Lebo Phalula coming in third. Both Phalula sisters

had a victory as Lebogang also took third place in the 10km senior ladies. Tiny Mpho Mabuza took second place. Many people chose the fun 4km run in Gold Reef City Theme Park as all the entry fees for this race went towards CANSA. Ten rand of each 21km and 10km entry will also be donated to CANSA. Hannelie Briel of CANSA said the donation will go toward research, education and support for all people affected by cancer. Due to the Jozi South Half Marathon supporting this worthy cause, there were several Peace Starts ambassadors who took part in the race. This became a challenge on its own with Olympic rowing medallist Lawrence Ndlovu, from Team Seize, challenging Cito, frontman of Wonderboom, from Team Showbiz. Obviously the sportsman won the challenge, but Cito accepted the loss in good spirit. For more results please visit www.entreronline.co.za
