ELVIS BLUE: OPTICS WENNERS Kari Hoogendijk van Stellenbosch Lihandie Swart van Potchefstroom Julle CDs is op pad!

Noem die naam Anna-Mart van der Merwe en mense is gewoonlik in ‘n effense beswymeling – dié geliefde en veelsydige (en beeldskone) SuidAfrikaanse aktrise dwing bewondering af vir wat sy ookal aanpak – met flieks vanaf Die Storie van Klara Viljee tot die splinternuwe Dis Koue Kos, Skat, is sy ‘n wenner by haar gehore. Ons het gesels met Anna-Mart op pad na ‘n repetisie ‘n week voor die opening van haar nuwe toneelstuk,The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, in Kaapstad, in die lieflike Lust halfpad tussen Paarl en Franschhoek, waar sy deesdae woon.

V: Dis Koue Kos, Skat moes nogal ‘n ondervinding gewees het – vertel alles!

A: Dis Koue Kos, Skat was ‘n wonderlike ervaring – vir ‘n vyftig-plusser om die hoofrol in ‘n romatiese komedie te speel, was nogal ‘n ding! Om myself in te leef in die karakter van Clara Brand, wie se man haar met haar beste vriendin verneuk het, was nogal ‘n uitdaging, want sy is iemand wat haar emosies intens ervaar en uitleef. Sy was nogal emosioneel uitputting. Dit was ook wonderlik om met ‘n jong regisseur en ‘n jonger generasie akteurs, met totaal ander verwysingraamwerke, te werk. Ek het baie by hulle almal geleer.

V: Jy het ‘n sepiestêr verwerf toe 7de Laan begin het. Films, sepies, verhoog – wat is jou gunsteling?

A: Sjoe, ja – my eerste TV-film was gedoen voor daar iets soos ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse sepie bestaan het! Ek dink die verhoog sal moet eerste kom, as ek sou moes kies. Daar is net iets aan die proses en dinamika – ook met die gehoor – wat dit ‘n magic manier maak om te act. Ek sou nogal graag in Europa deel van ‘n vaste teatergeselskap wou wees. Ek dink dit moet ‘n fantasiese ervaring wees om te groei as verhoogakteur in so ‘n setup.

V: Vertel ons meer van die nuwe toneelstuk?

A: Ek repeteer vir ‘n ongelooflike verhoogstuk, The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, deur

AWSUM Celebrity Interview

Anna-Mart

van der Merwe

Athol Fugard. Die stuk open die einde van die maand in die historiese Fugardteater in Distrik 6 in Kaapstad. Die rol was ‘n droom, omdat Athol, op 84 jaar oud, self die regie behartig.

Dit is ‘n ongelooflike voorreg en ervaring. Ek het verlede jaar in sy stuk People Are Living There in die Markteater in Johannesburg opgetree, en toe hierdie geleentheid kom om onder sy regie te werk, was dit amper net te goed om waar te wees!

V: Was drama ‘n roeping?

A: Dit was, maar eers laat in my skoolloopbaan. Ek het eers tale op Stellenbosch geswot, waar ek Vrydaemiddae dramaklasse by Babs Laker geloop het, en toe drama by UCT. Daarna het ek by die destydse Truk aangesluit en my verhoogloopbaan begin … en dit was dit.

V: Wat doen jy om te ontspan?

A: O, ek stap graag – die gevoel van aarde onder my voete is my redding. As ‘n gebore en getoë Vredendaller, is ek na aan die aarde in my leefwyse.

V: Gunstelingmusiek?

A: Eerste in my kop: Sade. Middeleeuse musiek. Jazz.

V: Gunstelingboek?

nutty!!

@jennymorrischef

Going

I have always been a fan of almonds – nutty toasted almonds tossed into salads or consumed by the handful as a snack, made into almond meal and used to bake cookies and cakes.

Almonds have many wonderful nutritional benefits, as they are very nutrient rich. I had an almond tree in my garden and I couldn’t wait for it to go into flower. I adored the fragrant pink and white flowers that covered the tree. I love that they are delicately flavoured and versatile and available all year round.

I recently discovered almond milk at the Good Food & Wine Show in Johannesburg and decided to do some experimenting with it. I use both the sweetened and unsweetened almond milk.

You can use it in making quiches, blinis, flapjacks, bread-andbutter pudding, ricotta, hot cakes, French toast, white sauce, smoothies, ice-cream, rice pudding and Panacotta, and also for soaking oats and mixing into scrambled eggs, and a lot more – it is even really yummy in tea and coffee! It can also be a substitute for dairy milk for those who have a lactose intolerance.

Almond milk is also suitable for people following a vegan diet.

As almond milk contains no cholesterol, it is also recommended for people suffering from heart disease or high cholesterol, and the unsweetened variety has a low glycaemic index (GI) with no added sugar, making it a suitable option for health conscious consumers.

Almond milk combines the superfood health benefits of almonds with a delicious taste. It is packed with calcium as well as vitamin D and E to support strong bones and healthy skin, making it easier to manage a healthy lifestyle.

I’m happy to see that it is GMO free, with no additives, MSG or preservatives. People are definitely paying more attention to their health, and so we should.

Raspberry and almond smoothie Serves 2 • 2 ½ cups almond milk (sweetened or unsweetened) • 4 ice cubes • 1 tbls runny honey • ¾ cup fresh or frozen raspberries • 1 tbls ground almonds • Place all the ingredients into liquidiser and blitz till smooth.

• Pour into tall glasses and enjoy.

Tip: you can strain the smoothie before you serve it. © Jenny Morris 2016 AWSUM NEWS AUGUST 2016

MESSY MASCARA

Mad Max actress Rosie HuntingtonWhitely proves that even a basic khaki shirt can be hot property.

This major mascara nono is now a DO SO!

For years, we’ve been told that clumpy mascara is a big bad and we’ve been used to formulas that keep lashes looking full but natural.

But now, we’re looking back to the ‘60s icons like Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton, and it’s hey hello to whacky way-out wild lashes.

The spidery clumpy look is so on trend that Maybelline has launched Colossal Chaotic Lash, R134.95, which has a thicker specialty formula to ensure you get messy mascara and your lashes are way out of control. So it’s a case of the messier the better. Like you’ve partied until the sun came up!

How do you nail this look? Coat your lashes with the mascara, wiggling the wand horizontally from roots to ends on your top lashes, and then swiping it vertically to cover your lower lashes. Don’t worry about blobs and bits, that’s what it’s all about!

1. DO accessorise.

Amp up the army --- wear simple stacked metallic jewellery which adds some bling but is not overly girly-girly. Go for a smaller cross-body bag and opt for high heels or a pair of ballet flats instead of flat, chunky boots.

2. DON’T wear it head-to-toe.

Camo is such a vibey and versatile print and looks great whether it’s pants or a top or whatever, but if you don’t want to look like Saving Private Ryan going AWOL, limit yourself to one camo piece at a time.

3. DO add color.

Although these army fatigue shades work so well with black, white, and other naturals, go further and pair them with bright neon tones to give them more street cred.

4. DON’T mix it with animal print.

Think about it --- they look very similar worn together so it’s way too busy. And you don’t want any hunting associations, either!

5. DO wear it with denim Camo is really edgy when worn with washed-out and distressed denim. Load on some checks and a bit of leather and you’ve got your M*A*S*H look all sorted.

Go for gold --give your camo an Olympic style shot of glamour with a trendy gold satin bomber jacket, R499, H & M. Khaki scarf, R 80, street markets.

Girl’s cropped shirt, R229, H & M.

Who knew camo could be this cute? Mega model Bella Hadid does her thing in a swing dress and high heel boots.

Khaki cropped anorak, R649, Cotton On.

TREND ALERT FOR GUYS!

It’s the season of disorde rly conduc t as combat gear is the new fashion strateg y.

So get your looks lined up --- olive drab and fatigue s have got nothing to do with food or being tired!

Camo cargo shorts, R269.90, Pick n Pay Clothing.

Pe pe Say s

EASY EYELINER

Yay! At last, there’s a new eyeliner that makes it easy for fumble fingers to draw a proper line without wobbling all over the place.

Maybelline’s new marvel, Master Precise Curvy™ Liquid Eyeliner, R 139.99, with a curve-hugging tip lets you line your eyelids in a wink. Use the flat side for a thick line and then use the tip to trace a trendy curved wing and a fine line along the lower lid. Bingo! You’ve got it, babe.

What to wea r now

Health & Wellbeing 8 HEALTHY EATING GOALS Small changes can make a big difference to your health. Try incorporating at least six of the eight goals below into your diet. Commit to incorporating one new healthy eating goal each week over the next six weeks.

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert. The more colourful you make your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals, and fibre your body needs to be healthy.

Make half the grains you eat whole grains: An easy way to eat more whole grains is to switch from refined grain food to wholegrain food, for example by eating wholewheat bread instead of white bread.

Read the ingredients list and choose products that list wholegrain ingredients first. Look for things like whole wheat, brown rice, bulgur, buckwheat, oatmeal, rolled oats, quinoa or wild rice.

Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk: Both have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but fewer calories and less saturated fat.

Choose a variety of lean protein foods: Meat, poultry, seafood, dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts and seeds are considered part of the protein foods group. Select leaner cuts of ground beef (where the label says 90% lean or higher), turkey breast, or chicken breast.

Compare sodium in foods: Use the nutrition facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like soup, bread and frozen meals.

Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” “reduced sodium,” or “no salt added.”

Drink water instead of sugary drinks: Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in diets. Try adding a slice of lemon, lime or watermelon or a splash of 100% juice to your glass of water if you want some flavor.

Eat some seafood: Seafood includes fish (such as salmon, tuna and trout) and shellfish (such as crab, mussels and oysters). Seafood has protein, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids (heart-healthy fat). Adults should try to eat at least eight ounces a week of a variety of seafood.

Children can eat smaller amounts of seafood, too.

Cut back on solid fats: Eat fewer foods that contain solid fats. The major sources of such foods are cakes, cookies and other desserts (often made with butter, margarine or shortening), pizza, processed and fatty meats (e.g. sausages, hot dogs, bacon, ribs) and ice cream. http://www.fitness.gov/eat-healthy/how-to-eat-healthy/

Bestmed’s You’ve Got the Power Challenge!

Does your school have the power to take on the challenge?

Launched last year with 63 schools across the country, ‘We’ve Got the Power Campaign’ has now expanded.

This year, healthy living will be demonstrated not only by learners, but their families too. This campaign will run from 1 August up until 30 September 2016.

Sasja la Grange, Marketing and Communications Manager at Bestmed says, “Following on the success of last year’s pilot campaign, we have once again identified 63 schools across the country that will be participating in this year’s campaign. The teams are expected to showcase the benefits of healthy living by creating unique, cool and fun music videos. The campaign is both educational and rewarding. We have awesome prizes up for winners, and these include cash prizes for runnersup and other spot prizes. The overall winning school will, over and above its cash prize, receive a MUSIC CONCERT featuring Richard Stirton, Gavin Edwards, Almur Marais and Jeremy Olivier from The Voice SA.” You’ve Got the Power campaign challenge underpins Bestmed’s focus on preventative healthcare, which is validated by its wellness pillars of Be Active, Be

Page 6

AWSUM NEWS AUGUST 2016

Safe, Be Nutri-wise, Be Fin-fit and Be Happy. The campaign challenge inspires scholars and their families to incorporate these pillars into their daily lives, and demonstrate it in the music videos. “Who says you cannot be healthy and have fun? We received encouraging feedback from last year’s launch campaign where schools learnt quite a bit about healthy lifestyle activities and enjoyed the process. We are committed to continue educating children about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in all possible ways we can,” adds la Grange.

In last year’s challenge, the schools created a music video based on Jeremy Loop’s songs and this year the music videos will be based on an upbeat song composed by Bestmed. The children will be able to sing or lip-sync the song. The videos can include choreography and fun dance moves that are cool, energetic and happy.

With the aim of encouraging children to not only practise healthy lifestyle activities at school but also at home, this year Bestmed is including families to take

part in the challenge. la Grange cites, “Students spend their time both at school and at home therefore we would like them to continue practising their healthy lifestyle activities in all aspects of their lives. We also want to encourage their families to do the same.”

“We look forward to receiving awesome music videos, and good luck to everyone,” concludes la Grange.

You’ve Got the Power Challenge To become part of the challenge, visit www.ygtp.co.za for more information. Students are required to create a music video based on Bestmed’s song and demonstrate how healthy living can make for a better life within the school and family context.

Teachers and families can also participate in the video as the aim is for the whole school to have fun. Once the video is completed, it can be uploaded on the site before the competition closes on 30 September 2016.

Bestmed will announce the winners on 24 October 2016.

Recharge your car battery Q: How long will my battery last?

A: The average car battery lasts between five and seven years. If the car is parked unused for extended periods of time, the battery will need to be replaced sooner. To ensure you don’t have to replace it often, choose a highquality battery.

Q: How often should I refill the water in my battery?

A: If your car is fitted with a reliable, maintenance-free battery, never.

Maintenance-free means you don’t have the hassle of refilling them, under normal operating conditions.

Q: How will I know when to replace my battery?

A: Before you rush to replace your battery, have it properly tested. Irregularities in your car or warning signs could be caused by something other than your battery. However, some warning signs to look out for include: • The engine doesn’t start at all • Starting the motor is difficult or sounds sluggish • The battery light on your dashboard is on • Your battery seems to lose power during cold or extended starts (in this case, the engine will start, then stop) • Your headlights dim when the car is idle.

Q: How can I extend my battery life?

A: Check your battery regularly to ensure the terminals are clean, tightly secured and free of corrosion. Corrosion and leaks can interfere with the battery’s performance. Also get your battery tested regularly to make sure it’s charging correctly. Ensure the hold-down bar which secures the battery in place is fitted correctly. This minimises damage-causing vibration.

Q: What should I do when my battery goes flat?

A: If your battery’s flat, you can recharge it using a portable battery charger.

Jump starting is only a quick fix – best practice is to charge the battery properly to keep it in good condition. For complete peace of mind, visit your nearest battery centre to make sure your battery is in peak condition.

Safety Tips for Women Driving Alone 1. Don’t assume an unmarked vehicle with a flashing light is a police officer.

If the car attempting to pull you over doesn’t look like an official vehicle, keep driving, turn your inside light on and pull over only in a well-lit, populated area. Do not get out of your car, and angle the vehicle so you can drive away quickly if need be. Crack the window, ask to see the officer’s ID and pay close attention to his clothes. Are they worn? Do they match? If not, put up your window, drive away and call 911.

2. Got a beef with a roadhog? Let it be.

For road ragers, don’t engage. Don’t even look at someone who’s trying to get your attention in an angry way. Just drive on, or turn. The worst thing you can do is get into a fight. It never leads to anything good. Don’t get your ego involved.

3. Pay attention.

Keep your sound system at a reasonable volume when driving in cities and neighborhoods, and don’t space out or check your text messages at every stoplight. Carjackers and robbers rely on the element of surprise, so if you’re keeping eyes and ears alert to what’s going on outside your vehicle, bad guys don’t have a chance to sneak up on you.

4. Secure your vehicle as you would your home.

You wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked and your windows open at home, so get in the habit of securing your car the same way. Keep doors locked when you’re driving, and windows raised. If anyone approaches your window asking for directions or money in slow or stopped traffic, take a quick glance around your vehicle to make sure you’re not being distracted by one half of a team. Crack the window an inch or two instead of opening it all the way if you decide to speak to a stranger. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/women-driving-alone/#slide-50761

As always, this annual event was a highlight on the Bloemfontein social and cultural calendar. On 25 August, various old-age homes attended the final dress rehearsal, an afternoon of entertainment that many would not have had the opportunity to otherwise experience.

This festival, which was initiated by former headmaster, Dr Michau Heyns, is the only event of its kind in South Africa. The festival was previously known as the Grey College Choir Festival, and was hosted in the school’s Centenary Hall. It was later moved to the Civic Theatre to accommodate the growing number of supporters.

In 2005, on the occasion of the school’s 150th anniversary, the Choir Festival changed its colours.
