Idees vir ’n Warm Winterhart-projek
D
ie winter is hier! Die koue klop aan die venster, dit is tyd vir lekker pannekoek en sop, en die Kaapse reëns betrap ons gereeld sonder ’n sambreel. Maar … wat van hulle wat nie ’n sambreel het nie – ook nie ’n huis met vensters of ’n ietsie warm om te eet nie? Vir talle minderbevoorregtes hier in ons streek is die winter vreesaanjaend. Ons hart bloei wanneer ons ’n man, vrou of kind op straat sien wat in wind en weer staan en bedel. Die meeste van ons wil graag iets vir hulle doen … maar ons weet dat om geld te gee nié ’n goeie idee is nie. Hier is wel ’n klompie goeie idees; dit is prakties en dit kan maklik saam met jou gesin, jou vriende of jou klasmaats aangepak word. Só kan julle ’n verskil maak: Maak magies vol! Maak blikkieskos bymekaar, en rys, bone, pap, langlewe-melk en ander nie-bederfbare produkte, en begin ’n kosbank. Daar is altyd gesinne wat daardie kos bitter nodig het, én organisasies wat na sulke gesinne probeer omsien. Julle kan hier ’n groot verskil maak – en só ander se magies so vol soos julle s’n kry! Óúgoed is warmgoed Die koue en nat weer kry ons almal onder – maar het jy al daaraan gedink dat daar mense is wat in hierdie nat winter nie skoene het om aan te trek nie? Gaan kyk ’n bietjie in jou kas – en loer sommer in jou broer of suster of ma of pa s’n – en tel ’n bietjie
die pare skoene en tekkies wat nooit meer gebruik word nie. En die jeans wat nooit meer gedra word nie (omdat dit te styf sit!). En wat van die opgevoude kombers wat al twee jaar lank ongebruik daar lê? Dit is tyd dat daai goed ’n nuwe huis kry! En onthou sommer ook daardie serp wat nie meer cool is nie. Daar sál iemand wees wat dit sal LOVE! Onthou die Engelse spreekwoord: “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure!” Maak kleingeld groot! Kies ’n organisasie wat jy wil ondersteun – en doen dit dan! Kyk, ’n mens het mos altyd ’n klomp kleingeld in jou beursie (dalk gooi julle dit in ’n bottel wat iewers in die huis staan). Moedig jou bure, ouers en die res van die familie aan om van daardie swáár sente – én die ewe swaar blink geld – ontslae te raak.
Stuur vir ons fo to’s van júlle Warm Winterha rtprojek!
Stel dan ’n doelwit: Hoeveel geld WIL jy insamel? En: Wanneer wil jy die projek voltooi? Vertel al wat leef en beef daarvan op Facebook en whatsapp. Kry nou sommer jou hele skool hierby betrokke. Gaan teken dan ’n prent of die skoolwapen met bordkryt op ’n parkeerterrein of sommer op die netbalbaan (hoe groter die prent, hoe meer plek vir die geld!). Op ’n spesifieke dag – of by ’n spesiale geleentheid wat jy met die onderwysers gereël het – bring almal dan hulle kleingeld en pak dit binne-in die getekende prent. Jy sal jou verstom oor hoe groot kleingeld word! Daar is ’n KLOMP maniere om in hierdie winter ’n verskil te maak. Hierbo is maar drie idees.

Handy hints for your home These Handy Hints will remind you of the ways you can save around the home – some you may be able to do, and others you may not be able to do, but every single one of them can help you save money and energy. Even if you only choose one or two, it all adds up!
Fridge/freezer
• Check seals and doors. Doors need to close firmly. • Check the temperature. Fridges work best between 3° and 5°, freezers work best between -15° and -18°. • Room to breathe. Fridges and freezers run better with air circulating around them.
Heating
• Check the temperature. Keep the room temperature between 18°
and 21° in winter. • Seal those cracks and gaps with blockers like a door ‘snake’ • Throw on a jersey so you can turn your heater down • Keep the curtains closed to keep the warmth in
Hot water
• Shorten your shower to save water, money and energy! • Fix those dripping taps. They can waste up to 1 litre of water/hour • Hand wash single dishes instead
of using the dishwasher • Try a front loader washing machine they use less water and up to 60% less energy
Electric pumps
• Use the right size, and don’t pay for wasted energy • Install a timer, and only use it in off peak times or when you need to • Use a pool cover, this can reduce the need for filtering.

This friendly town may be best known for its wines, as it forms part of the longest wine route in the world. But Robertson is bursting at the seams with attractions, activities, accommodation, and culinary delights to suit any traveller’s budget and taste.
Guests can visit wineries and game reserves, tribal art, cultural tours, museums and for the more adventurous: hiking trails and mountain climbing, 4x4 routes, canoeing, horse riding, even ostrich riding, fishing and caving. For foodies, the local farm stalls overflow with fresh produce, dried fruit and freshly made breads, homemade jams and preserves.

DID YOU KNOW? Five facts about wine.
When next you host a dinner party for friends, drop a few facts about your vino and impress your guests! Cork vs. Screw
Move over, cork, and make way for screw caps. Today, screw caps are replacing corks on more than just inexpensive bottles. Currently, screw caps seal 75 percent of Australian wines and 93 percent of New Zealand wines, and they’re gaining popularity in all countries, including here in S.A.
To Age or Not to Age?
It is a common misconception that all wines improve with age. In fact, more than 90 percent of all wines should be consumed within one year.
Use Your “Nose”
• The term bouquet refers to the
total scent of the wine. • Aroma is the scent of the grapes. • When wine tasters want to describe the bouquet and the aroma together, they use the term nose.
What Colour Tells You
As white wines age, they gain color. Red wines, on the other hand, lose colour as they age. To analyze your glass of wine, hold the glass on an angle in front of a white background, such as a napkin or tablecloth. White wines can range from a pale yellowgreen to a brownish hue. Reds begin at purple and scale all the way to brown.
Drink to Your Health!
According to Dietary Guidelines, there are 100 calories in a glass of wine (compared to 150 calories in a beer). Plus wine is a fat-free and cholesterol-free drink. Cheers! www.delish.com

Common Ear, Nose & Throat Problems in Children
SPONSORED BY CURE DAY CLINICS
Physical Address: 74 Berlyn St. Paarl Telephone: +27(0)21 872 7472
Dr. A van Lierop ENT specialist
Children often have a significant level of Ear, Nose, Throat and Upper Respiratory problems. Because of their inability to vocalise , often the symptoms are neglected. “My child is having a flu all the time”; may be a common comment made by parents in the play-group and kindergarten age. Hearing difficulty may be undiagnosed leading to learning impairment in this age group. Blocked Nose and Mouth Breathing These are relatively common symptoms. Often, the cause may be obvious such as the common cold or flu. Possible Causes: Allergy, Sinusitis, Swollen Turbinates, Enlarged Adenoids or Tonsils. Runny Nose The most common cause for a runny nose is the common cold or flu. This typically increase in severity over 2 to 3 days often associated with a cough or fever. If the discharge is clear and there are morning symptoms of sneezing and congested nose, the most likely cause is allergy. Chronic Cough Chronic cough may be caused by allergy or sinusitis resulting from a post nasal drip. Chest infection and asthma are the other causes. A persistent cough is not normal and needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Sorethroat Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis are common causes. Usually this starts as a viral infection in which antibiotics is not necessary. If the sore throat worsens, and phlegm develops, a course of antibiotics is helpful. Tonsillitis is often associated with
high fever in a child. If this is happening regularly, then a visit to the ENT doctor would be helpful. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, can now be accomplished as a day procedure with quick recovery. Snoring Regularly loud snoring and noisy breathing should be assessed to exclude blocked nose, allergies, enlarged adenoids and tonsils. The most common cause for this is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. If this is the cause their removal will solve the problem. Ear Ache This is caused by either an external or middle ear infection and is also a frequent cause of hearing loss. In infants and toddlers look for ear pulling, scratching at the ear, hearing problems, crying, irritability, fever, vomiting and ear drainage. In the older children and adults, earache, pressure sensation, hearing loss, dizziness, ear drainage and fever may present. Hearing Loss A child that has delayed or inaccurate speech needs to have their hearing assessed. Diminished hearing affects learning ability. The cause is usually in the outer or middle ear. In rare situation, the hearing loss is a result of a nerve condition. The take home message is that if your child is having recurring symptoms in the same areas, do consult your physician for an evaluation. Most of the problems can be solved if there is accurate assessment and treatment. Cure Day Clinic St. Stephen’s Paarl, a state-of-the-art medical facility which offers excellent same-day procedures

By Dr. Nicola Grobler
Nocturnal Enuresis Bedwetting (enuresis) is not caused by psychological factors. On the contrary, the condition causes psychological problems manifested in reduced self-esteem, shame and guilt. This can be restored through better understanding, managements and treatment . Active treatment should be started as soon as the child is ready to receive it, options being an enuresis alarm, medication, behavioural therapy or alternative therapy. About 15% of all junior school children wet their bed. By high school 2% will still experience enuresis. If kids continue to wet the bed past the age of 5, it is a problem that should be treated. Boys are more affected than girls. Most children stop daytime wetting by age 3. Most children also stop nighttime wetting shortly after age 3. Failure to stop nighttime wetting is called nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting. Primary enuresis most often represents developmental delay. In secondary enuresis the patient regresses after a period of continence. The idea that bedwetting will simply go away if you are patient and wait long enough is false. About 1 out of every 7 or 8 children who wet their bed will stop wetting a year later if nothing is done. It is not a good idea to wait for a child to outgrow the problem. This can cause the child’s selfesteem to suffer. Bedwetting is upsetting to children and parents. Emotional distress is most often the result of bedwetting. It is not the cause. There are various causes and there is a genetic link. Children who wet the bed have not learned how to control the muscles they need to prevent wetting during sleep. They cannot make the physical response during sleep. As a result, they cannot wake up in the night to go to the bathroom. There is no single cure for treating Enuresis. In general, as long as the child takes the medication treatments,
these treatments tend to produce a decrease in bedwetting. When the child stops taking medications, the bedwetting often returns. Medications rarely “cure” bedwetting. Medications might provide a temporary answer to the problem by allowing children to control bedwetting for short periods of time (great for holidays and sleepovers). It is advisable to use medication in conjunction with Bedwetting Alarm Treatment, Behavioural Therapies or other Alternative Therapy. It is not difficult to find alternatives to the traditional approaches to bedwetting, but deciding whether to try them is something else entirely. From acupuncture to homeopathy, there are a lot of options and still more questions. An open mind, independence and the willingness to sift through a lot of information are required of parents looking to treat their child’s bedwetting. Chiropractic Care The most often mentioned alternative approach to bedwetting, or enuresis, is chiropractic care. Although once seen as way out of the mainstream, chiropractic manipulation of the spine is now recognized as a medical treatment. Chiropractic care for nocturnal enuresis treats the bladder through manipulation of the lower spine and pelvis. Since the nerve supply to the muscles, which control urinary emptying, are connected to the brain through the spinal cord, it is believed that aligning the spine will correct any slow messaging or incomplete signals between the brain and the bladder.

Some Like It Hot
The weather is really getting chilly and I can feel the cold seeping right down deep into my bones and my belly is talking to me, saying that it got a message form my body, saying it needs to be heated from within. I must say I tend to agree with this body, I think it is time to start pulling out all the heartwarming comfort food recipes.
Let’s Cook! Lamb, Brinjal and Butter Bean Curry Serves 4 to 6 Curry 2 long, large, firm brinjals, cubed 3 Tbs vegetable oil 3 Tbs unsalted butter 3 large onions, thinly sliced 5 cm piece fresh ginger, grated 15 ml coriander seeds, toasted and ground 15 ml cumin seeds, toasted and ground 5 cardamom pods, toasted and ground 5 ml turmeric 10 ml chilli powder 1 fresh green chilli, slit 1.5 kg lean cubed lamb or lamb knuckle 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped 10 cloves garlic, crushed salt, to taste about 1 ½ cups boiling water ¾ tsp ground cinnamon 2 cups cooked butter beans 10 curry leaves (optional) 3 Tbs chopped fresh coriander Raita 2 cups thick Greek yogurt 1 medium English cucumber, washed 1 tsp roasted ground cumin 1 Tbs chopped fresh mint 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander 2 tsp fresh lemon juice salt to taste
To make the curry, salt the Brinjal cubes and let them sweat for 20 minutes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and brown the brinjals lightly - don’t cook them completely. Set aside till needed. Heat the butter and one tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan, add the onions and let them cook gently till they reduce down to two-thirds of their original size. Add a few drops of water if need be to stop them from burning. Now stir in the ginger, ground coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric and chilli powder, and cook stirring for a few minutes to release the fragrance of the spices, adding a few spoonful’s of warm water at a time to stop them from burning. Stir in the fresh chilli and lamb, and cook with spices for 5 minutes. Don’t let it stick. Add the tomatoes and garlic, season with salt and cover with a lid, simmering for 20 minutes. Lift the lid and add the boiling water, just enough to cover the lamb, and stir in the cinnamon. Simmer till the lamb is tender; about 50 to 60 minutes.
While the curry is simmering away, make the Raita. Place the yogurt in a bowl. Peel half of the cucumber and chop very finely. Dice the other half (with the skin on) and stir all the cucumber into the yoghurt with the cumin, mint, coriander and lemon juice. Season with salt and add a little more cumin if you like. Set aside in the fridge until needed. Just before you are ready to serve, add the beans, brinjals and curry leaves to the lamb, and cook till warmed through. Stir in the fresh coriander and serve with roti. or steamed rice, and the cucumber and mint Raita. Tip: Cook the onions nice and slow till they cook right down. The sugars cook out of them this way, giving you an amazing curry © Jenny Morris extracted from the Book Taste The World with Jenny Morris

SPICE up your life!
Turmeric is a popular spice for cooking, but it has a long history of medicinal uses, too. Turmeric provides a wide variety of benefits, but there are six standouts.
Antioxidant The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is known as a powerful antioxidant. This means it targets dangerous free radicals in the body and reduces the damage they are able to cause DNA and cells. Anti-Inflammatory Curcumin also has anti-inflammatory qualities. This makes it effective for fighting heart disease, osteoarthritis pain, and other health problems related to inflammation Curcumin is believed to reduce certain enzymes in the body known to trigger inflammation. Heart Health Turmeric reduces the risk of blood clots and prevents the build up of plaque in the arteries, which helps in the battle against stroke and other clot-related problems. There are also studies showing turmeric is beneficial for reducing bad cholesterol and improving good cholesterol, both of which play a role in a person’s heart health. Slows the Progression of Alzheimer’s Researchers studying the effects of
curcumin in relation to Alzheimer’s cite the health of those living in regions that consume turmeric in high quantities. People in India aged 70 and older have a much lower rate of Alzheimer’s disease than those in the same age group in the United States. Many believe this difference is due to the high intake of Indian curries, which are made with turmeric. Further research points to turmeric’s ability to remove amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain, which is believed to put people at risk for developing the Alzheimer’s. Skin Health Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits can be beneficial when applied topically, too. It is considered an effective treatment for psoriasis and other skin disorders, and it is a natural antiseptic and can be used to treat burns and cuts. Cancer Fighter The jury is still out on just how effective turmeric is for fighting cancer. Some health experts point to its anti-inflammatory benefits and draw conclusions based on the link between inflammation and the development of cancer. Free radicals and cell damage are believed to be linked to cancer, too, so if turmeric is able to work as an antioxidant it has a secondary anti-cancer effect. © http://www.myhealthylivingcoach.com
