ELVIS BLUE: OPTICS WINNERS Kari Hoogendijk from Stellenbosch Lihandie Swart from Potchefstroom Your CDs are on their way!
Mention the name Anna-Mart van der Merwe and people usually swoon slightly – the beloved and diverse (and beautiful) South African actress garners admiration for whatever she tackles – with movies from Die Storie van Klara Viljee to the brand-new Dis Koue Kos, Skat, she is a winner with her audiences. We caught up with Anna-Mart on her way to a repetition for her new play,The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, in Cape Town, over lattes at the lovely Lust, halfway between Paarl en Franschhoek, where she lives these days. Q: Dis Koue Kos, Skat must have been quite an experience – do tell all!
A: Dis Koue Kos, Skat was a great experience – for a fifty-something to play the lead in a romantic comedy was quite a thing! Immersing myself in the character of Clara Brand, whose husband cheated on her with one of her best friends, was quite a challenge, as she is someone who lives life with extreme emotions. She was quite exhausting emotionally. It was also great working with a young director and a younger generation of actors, with totally different frames of reference. I learned a lot from them all.
Q: You became a soapie star when 7de Laan started. Movies, soapies, stage – which is your favourite?
A: Goodness, yes – my first TV movie was made before there was something such as a South African soapie! I think the stage will have to come first, if I had to choose. There is just something about the process and dynamics – also with the audience – that makes it magical acting medium. I would have liked to be part of a theatre company in Europe. I think it must be a fantastic experience to grow as stage actor in such a setup.
Q: Was drama a calling? A: It was, but only late in my school career. I first studied languages at Stellenbosch, where

AWSUM Celebrity Interview
Anna-Mart
van der Merwe
I took drama classes with Babs Laker on Friday afternoons, and then drama at UCT. After that, I joined the then Truk and started my stage acting career … and that was it.
Q: Tell us more about the play you are currently starring in. A: I am rehearsing for the incredibe play The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek, by Athol Fugard, which opens the end of the month in the historic Fugard Theatre in District 6 in Cape Town. The part was a dream, because Athol, at 84, is the director. This is an incredible privilege and experience. I acted in his play People Are Living There last year in the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, and when the opportunity came my way to work under his direction, it almost too good to be true!
Q: What do you to do relax?
A: Oh, I love to walk – there is nothing quite like the feeling of earth under my feet. As a born and bred Vredendaller, I am rather earthy in my lifestyle.
Q: Favourite music?
A: First in my head: Sade. Gregorian Chants. Jazz.
Q: Favourite book?
H I G H LI G H TS
A: The über classic Narciss and Goldmund, by Herman Hesse. Oh yes – The Bone People, by Keri Hulme, is also a fascinating book that touched me deeply.

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.

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.

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
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.

The competitiveness amongst the various houses was inspiring to see. A number of records were broken this year, supporting the children’s dedication to their sport. Parents and past pupils were invited to join in the fun and enjoyed their special races. The PTA did a superb job at keeping the spectators happy with a selection of tasty treats. Staff worked hard at making sure the sports day was run meticulously. The winning house was Kudu and the ‘Spirit’ trophy went to Springbok.

The theme selected by these grades in the Girls School, for their Music, Art Dance & Drama (MADD) performance was Space. The girls immersed themselves in poetry, music and dance as they took a fabulous journey through the universe, developing a richer appreciation and understanding of all that is ‘Space’. The performance was held on 4 August and was an evening for our Middle School families to join us as, like astronauts, we blasted off into Space, met some naughty aliens, viewed a shooting star, landed on the moon, and returned back under African skies to walk on sunshine. What fun was had by all our shining stars! Who knows, some of our girls may belong to the next generation of space explorers!
ST PETER’S COLLEGE (t) 011 807 5315 (e) info@stpeterscollege.co.za Grade 10 and 11 French Tour to Lesotho St Peters College’s Grade 10 and 11 French students recently ventured to Morija, Lesotho for a séjour français, to immerse themselves in a French culture that, believe it or not, exists a mere seven hours away from Johannesburg! The programme, run by bordelaise Brigitte Cathala, encompasses a myriad of activities designed to introduce students to life in Morija, its French roots, and show the students that they are capable of speaking just French (for the most part!) for five days. Their stay included writing songs about bad dates and breaking up, completing a treasure hunt to find dinosaur imprints, watching Les Intouchables, eating delicious French meals, trekking to the top of Thaba-Bosiu, the mountain fortress of Moshoeshoe l, and spending an afternoon in the capital with Rémi Béghin, director of the Alliance Française of Maseru.
