WHO WE ARE

This October, CANSA highlights the importance of screening and early detection for breast cancer as part of its Women’s Health Campaign. Apart from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women of all races, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 35 in South Africa, according to the 2007 National Cancer Registry.

“We encourage all women to conduct regular self-examinations once a month. Know how your breasts look and feel – discuss any changes you observe with your health practitioner. It’s also very important to go for a mammogram every year from the age of 40,” states Elize Joubert, CANSA’s Acting CEO. She adds, “Women need to be aware of the screening opportunities available. We have mobile health clinics travelling to remote areas throughout South Africa”.

Reduce risk through regular examinations Many breast lumps are harmless, but they should all be checked.

It is important for women to do monthly breast self-examinations and to go for regular clinical breast examinations.

Symptom-free women of 40 and

older should go for a mammogram (a special X-ray to detect lumps in the breast), every year.

Prevention and early detection The most effective weapon against cancer is knowledge. If you consider that one in four individuals may be affected by the disease during their lifetime, you will realise how powerful knowledge is in terms of risk reduction, prevention and early detection.

CANSA’s prevention and early detection programmes and campaigns contain material re a balanced diet and promote a balanced lifestyle that includes regular exercise, not smoking, staying safe in the sun, doing regular self-examinations and undergoing regular medical checkups.

All prevention and early detection programmes and campaigns are underpinned by research.

Other cancers affecting women: • Fallopian tube cancer • Ovarian cancer • Vaginal cancer • Vaginal clear-cell adenosarcoma • Vulvar cancer • Uterine cancer How women can reduce their cancer risk: Be aware of the importance of the early detection of cancer. This enables more effective treatment and a better chance of recovery.

Acknowledge the importance of a healthy balanced lifestyle: not smoking, being sun smart, going for preventative screenings and avoiding known cancer-causing factors. We also encourage women to reduce their risk of female cancers by: • Avoiding hormone therapy • Using condoms to help prevent sexually transmitted infections such as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is a high risk factor for cervical cancer • Consulting a healthcare professional on the HPV vaccine • Consulting a healthcare professional for advice on appropriate screening tests if there is a family history of cancer Mobile health clinics CANSA has nine mobile health clinics travelling to remote areas throughout South Africa in October to reach women and men who would otherwise not have access to screening.

They offer the following: • Clinical breast examinations • Pap smear screening tests for cervical cancer • Prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests for men to detect prostate abnormalities • Cholesterol test • B l o o d pressure test

Dear AWSUM Reader,

There is a great way to read the AWSUM Newspaper on your smartphone or tablet. How? Via the ISSUU mobile app of course!

Simply go to the Google Play Store (For Android Devices) or the Apple App Store (For iPhones and iPads) and download the ISSUU app on your smartphone or tablet.

You can login with either your Facebook, Google Plus or LinkedIn account. Search for AWSUM News, click the follow button and you are good to go!

You can have access to all the editions from all the regions that we deliver.

Happy reading!

WHAT TO DO: 1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add yogurt, butter, and lightly beaten egg to the same bowl. Add enough milk to make batter stir-able, 1-2 tablespoons depending on the thickness of the yogurt.

2. Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of pancake batter and drop the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Give the pancake about a minute to set up on the griddle side so the lollipop stick won’t go all the way through, then place the lollipop stick in the batter just shy of the top of the pancake. Press stick down and use your spoon to smooth out the valley in the batter, that way you will have pancakes that look perfect on both sides!

4. Space the rest of the pancake pops out, so you have room to add the sticks.

5. To flip the pancake pops use a small spatula to lift them up a bit, then you can use the lollipop stick to give them a quick turn. The lollipop stick was warm, but www.holsboervacations.mobi it wasn’t too hot to handle. tel: 044 533 3707 | cell: 076 809 8090 Just be careful not to touch summerhill01@mweb.co.za the griddle!

Theres nothing quite like entertaining in your back-yard during the Summer. Whether it’s for a party or just to create a late evening chill out zone on your patio – check out this easy to do, budget friendly idea!

WHAT TO DO:

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE LANTERNS:

1. Blow up balloons to desired size. Keep in mind that the size of your balloon dictates the size of your lanterns balls (it’s also helpful not to blow up the balloons all the way; a bit less air makes for rounder balloons).

2. If you plan to place a lantern light in your finished lanterns, draw a circle on the top of each balloon large enough to accommodate the lighting fixture. If you’re not planning to light the lanterns or you’d prefer to stuff them with a simple strand of twinkle lights, you can skip this step (just make sure you leave enough space while wrapping to stuff the twinkle lights inside).

3. Lay a plastic drop cloth over your work surface, and set up a place where balloons can be suspended from the air to dry.

I draped the plastic drop cloth across the bathroom floor and

• 5 to 6 balloons, blown up to whatever size ball or lantern you want to make • large plastic drop cloth • scissors • twine or cotton yarn • basic white glue • ½ cup cornstarch • ¼ cup warm water • petroleum jelly • clear, fast-drying spray paint • lantern lights or white twinkle lights

into the bathtub so I could hang the balls on the shower bar.

4. Mix glue, cornstarch and warm water in a large container until all lumps are gone, then cover each balloon in petroleum jelly (using rubber gloves for this cuts down on the mess).

5. Feed the twine through the glue mixture until it is coated, then start draping it around the balloon.

6. Wrap the ball vertically to a comfortable tightness, then horizontally. Once ball is wrapped to your liking, use a piece of twine to suspend it from the shower bar (or drying space of your choosing).

7. Allow balls to dry for 24 hours. Then, pop the balloons. It’s like magic! Spray the balls with clear, fast-drying spray paint.

8. Once they’re dry, insert the lights, and you’re ready to party like it’s 1999!

We have the largest selection of quality pork, beef and lamb sourced from the best possible supply.

We stock AAA grade Sparta rump, sirloin and fillet steak as well as lamb from the Western Cape and Karoo regions.

Hoërskool DF Malherbe 10 OCTOBER 2014 “Solar Car Challenge”

Leerders van Hoërskool DF Malherbe het op Woensdag, 1 Oktober deelgeneem aan die “Solar Car Challenge” op Kings Beach se parkeerarea.

Die inisiatief, wat deur Sasol gereël word, nooi skole uit om te kompeteer vir ‘n groot kontantprys wat dan aan die skool geskenk word. Elke skool kry dieselfde tipe materiaal om hulle sonverhitte modelmotors te bou. Hulle kompeteer teen mekaar op ‘n plastiek

resiesbaan en neem deel aan verskeie uitkloprondtes. Laer- en hoërskole was die kans gegun om hulle tegniese en meganiese vaardighede teen mekaar te toets.

Op die dag het die regte “Solar Car” wat besig is om sy tog van Pretoria na Kaapstad te maak, ook die terrein op Kings Beach besoek. DF leerders het ‘n goeie semifinale gehaal, waar die kompetisie sterk was, en die son min.

Individual brilliance!

Tiaan Barnard recently attended the Makro Bestmed cycling race in Lorraine where he got into 3rd place in the junior category. The race was no easy task as riders had to endure 90 kilometres of long climbs and sprinting.

Die leerders is besig om in samewerking met Sardiniabaai Lewensreddingsklub (SBLRK), oplei-ding te ontvang om gekwalifiseerde lewensredders te word. Andrew Marriot, die klub se voorsitter, tree op as instrukteur van die program. Marriot leer hulle nie net hoe om na vakansiegangers se veiligheid om te sien nie, maar alles rondom die mariene lewe, die gevare wat rommel op strande inhou, en interessante stories oor die klub se geskiedenis. Die leerders ontvang sowat 2 maande se weeklikse opleiding, waarna hulle sertifikate ontvang as gekwalifiseerde lewensredders. Die opleiding word in tyd geskeduleer vir die opkomende Desember-vakansie. Dit is die besigste tyd van die jaar waar vakansiegangers die Baai besoek. Die SBLRK en die leerders sal dus gereed wees vir die massas mense wat mag opdaag.

Hoërskool Cillié Kultuuraand 2014

Op 28 Augustus het Hoërskool Cillié se Kultuurleerders weer gewys waartoe hulle in staat is met hulle jaarlikse kultuurkonsert. Die tema van hierdie jaar se konsert was: “Around the world.” Die gehoor het saam met die hoofkarakters, wat in ‘n vliegtuig aan die kant van die verhoog gesit het, die wêreld deur sang-, dans- en drama-items ontdek.

Verskeie plekke is besoek en ‘n gepaste item, eie aan dié land, is dan gelewer.

Die vliegtuig se laaste stop was SuidAfrika en elke persoon in die gehoor kon weer die Trots Suid-Afrikaanse gevoel kry. Tussendeur het die hoofkarakters interessante feite oor elke land gegee en die gehoor vermaak met hulle eie geite en uiteenlopende persoonlikhede. Die kultuurkonsert is elke jaar ‘n hoogtepunt en dit is altyd lekker om te sien hoeveel talent die leerders in Cillié het.

Leerderraad – ons maak ‘n verskil!

Om ‘n leier te wees vat passie, harde werk, determinasie en geduld. Dit is maar net ‘n gedeelte wat die leiers van Hoërskool Cillié geleer het tydens die jaarlikse kamp.

Die 43 leerderraadslede is deur 4 onderwysers vergesel wat gedurende die naweek verskeie sessies aangebied het. Die doel van die sessies was om hulself en die medeleerders bietjie beter te verstaan, om te leer hoe om leierskap practise toe te pas, wat verwag word van leiers en hoe om ‘n verskil te maak.

Dit was ‘n naweek waat die 43 leerderraadslede, iets nuuts geleer het, hetsy oor hulself, skool of vriende.

Die naweek was baie insiggewend met lekker kos, nuwe vriende, ‘n “awesome” tyd, seer maagspiere en min slaap! Dit was werklik onvergeetlik. Die Leerderraad van 2014/15 is baie opgewonde oor die positiewe invloed wat ons op ons skool gaan hê.
